What is a family? This is a deep question.
The gains are many. There is strength that comes from the gathering of people that agreed to form this group unit: the family.
Now, there are moments where things get complicated. People get on the way of others. They think they have rights that were never agreed upon.
For example: “I gave you birth, so, you owe me your life. And all in it.”
Is that a good relationship to be in?
I don’t think so. Therefore there is a need for healings. People think you are their property! Mothers, fathers. They are sick. The are hurt and they are hurting others.
You must protect your integrity. No one owns another person. And even so, even when everybody says that there is no such thing happening inside a family, this is exactly how they behave.
So, beware. Know yourself, know and put your boundaries. And find your strength outside of family. Otherwise you will be forever trapped.
Because this group unit called family, can be very toxic. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
And your individual being can’t keep hurting, if you want to be happy. Correct?
Many blessings. May you find your happiness in your own strength. Only God can provide such thing. Because this ain’t an easy path.
