“Many people feel like they were born into the wrong family. Nevertheless, adults must take responsiblity for the pain of the past and create a productive life in the present.”
“ Inevitably, if we are to grow and change as adults, we must gradually learn to confront the challenges, paradoxes, problems and painful reality of an insecure world.”
“No one emerges from a troubled childhood without the battle scars to prove it. It is amazing that we fare as well as we do.”
“Kids grow up in troubled homes thinking that they have the power to change their parents. Over time, they realize that they are mistaken.”
