Family

I think family relationships can be some of the toughest you deal with and struggle with all your life. You deal with them, constantly and you love them the most and yet it's just so hard sometimes. They know you in ways you don't know yourself, they reveal to you things you didn't see/things you didn't know you embodied. With others, you can pretend to keep a distance, keep space and pretense, barriers and walls. With family it doesn't seem as easy to do so. Perhaps that is what makes it more difficult. It forces you to face issues, it forces you to get involved when you wouldn't otherwise. Because getting involved is sticky. It sucks sometimes. You go through the tough crap together and make it out on the other side. Yeah, so gotta remind myself..this is just the tough crap part. You'll see the other side........soon.
