How right you are John. Since I work for an agency that does family therapy
(counseling) I have benefitted from that in many ways. And my boss told me
that we often hurt the people we love because we know we can count on their
"unconditional" love. When we are hurting and frightened, we have to use our
energy to be kind to people we may not like at all, like doctors! So we have
to let our hair down somewhere; we do it where we feel safe, where the people
who say they love us really do and forgive us. -chris
