(((((Erin))))),

This one hurts. Very well written...

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

A sad reality indeed - when communicating becomes one-sided and looses its grace and understanding.

I don't know who you wrote this about, but I can certainly relate to the tenor of the piece in light of my own family and the destruction that has forced everyone deep into their own microcosm.

Sometimes the wall between ourselves and our family members is so thick, when their expectation is so high upon us.

Erin, I wish you the best. Sometimes we just need to break though the wall and accept our relatives.

I had troubles in accepting my parents when I was younger, when they made the standard of success so high for me, but little did I know was that they were building me up for my own future. Sometimes we hust have to accept them, and break that wall, one bit at a time...until we get to see them and recogize they mean well.

Good luck!

Love to you,
