we look at these patterns with respect and curiosity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5084\" data-end=\"5115\">It&#8217;s not about finding someone to blame.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5117\" data-end=\"5162\">It&#8217;s not about saying your parents did something wrong.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5164\" data-end=\"5186\">It&#8217;s about observing:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5188\" data-end=\"5217\"><strong data-start=\"5188\" data-end=\"5217\">What did you take on out of love?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5219\" data-end=\"5269\">What responsibility did you carry that may

everything they could to preserve love and belonging in the family.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5416\" data-end=\"5457\">But today, as an adult, you can choose something different.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5459\" data-end=\"5491\">You can love without saving.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5493\" data-end=\"5525\">You can help without losing yourself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5527\"
