When the people who are our everything can’t be everything to us in the ways we need it is devastating. It becomes an open wound that we carry around and identify in others. That is why it is so important to do family of origin healing and grieve our parents. It helps to bring our little one into the present day. It helps us to stop picking people who are like them.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We have relationships that trigger our childhood, but they are relationships for healing. They are not the relationships that go the distance. If they do last a long-time, they can be difficult because our wounds are constantly coming up. And, unless you and a partner are willing to work through those together the relationship will be frustrating.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When we heal our childhood wounds we can pick from our present-day self, our adult self, and we can choose someone who is more in alignment with where we want to go.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Know that every relationship challenge moves us closer to a healthy relationship.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400
