"It occurred to me that the child believes the parents behavior has everything to do with him, always, and that this then will be a source of a life's worth of misunderstandings." Julia Glass

I read this quote in a book recently and thought it was very interesting and true. As a child you think that every behavior and decision your parent makes has to do with you. And there are many other factors in their decisions. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with the child and everything to do with the parents situation. It just made me think and I thought I'd share.

very interesting point. reminds me of a few other conversations we've had. almost all the decisions I make are actually a balancing act.
