Any intimate relationship, like the one we have with children, will show us exactly where and how we can grow. They trigger us. They point out our deep wounds and force us to look at them (or run away from them).  Intimacy in any relationship is uncomfortable, vulnerable and sometimes heartbreaking.  Our expectations of who we want this person to be are different than who they really are.  This is...

"Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don't belong. You will always find it because you've made that your mission.
