I don't think there's anything more important than making peace before it's too late. And it almost always falls to the child to try to move toward the parent.

Parents are supposed to give the child back to herself with love. If they've got duct tape over their eyes because of narcissism, it doesn't happen.

When a child enters the world through you, it alters everything on a psychic, psychological and purely practical level.

You know, you're only as happy as your least happy child. So if your kids aren't okay, you're not good.

The bond between a parent and child is the primary bond, the foundation for the rest of the child's life. The presence or absence of this bond determines much about the child's resiliency and what kind of adult they will grow up to be.
