Emotional abuse is present when the abuser undermines the victim´s sense of self-worth by criticing, name calling, the silent treatment, belittling, and making and breaking promises. If these actions in any way describe your relationship, you need to take a time-out and re-evaluate the relationship.

If your parents can help you walk the first steps of your life, then why can you not help them walk their last steps of their life?

A perfect marriage isn’t one that’s problem-free, it’s one that manages and solves problems wisely.

If I had my child
If I had my child to raise again
I'd build self esteem first and the house later
I'd finger paint more and finger point less
I'd do less correcting and more connecting
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch more with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take hikes and fly more kites
I'd stop playing seriously and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
