loving someone for who they truly are vs who you want them to be is one of the biggest lessons i've had to learn this year. and i think that the idea of avoiding love because of getting hurt is too risk aversive...it's like you said, why bother doing anything at all then? And I totally agree that just because someone is your parent or child you are not obligated to love them, especially if they are being abusive.

I am glad you enjoyed reading this and that you had your lesson this year. I am sure you are a wiser and bigger person because of it. We always learn, if we allow ourselves. Thank you for your lovely comment 💚
