I often see clients who as adults are still trying desperately to win the approval of their parents or siblings. I often think if they were incapable of treating you lovingly when you were young and cute and precious, why would they be different now? They did what they could based on what they learned, based on the quality of love that they received. If you managed to reach adulthood and your relationships with your parents or your siblings are not what you wish they were, find relationships elsewhere! That's what lovers and spouses and friends are for!
