RE: Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?
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 💚
