Our need for our own and others’ love and support is greatest when we are in pain and struggling with our limitations. How sad and unnecessary that many of us still hide in the isolation of our rooms when we are hurting – as loveless and uncared for as we were in our family homes. When we do, it is as if our parents are once again lacerating our self-esteem by banishing us from their presence until we “wipe that look off our faces.”
