Loving On Purpose

Fulfilling Your Own Needs Through Friends


Listen Later

Many of us had expectations of when we had adult children what life would be like.  We thought we would be involved in their lives.  When this expectation or need is not fulfilled we often feel unimportant and unloved.  As an adult, we are responsible for fulfilling our own needs.  One way to accomplish that is to spend more time with friends.
We are fulfilling our own needs by finding like minded people to associate with.  It is not our children's responsibility to fulfill our needs.  They don't OWE us anything.  In this episode I talk about why our children possibly aren't helping fulfill our needs and five benefits to having friends to fulfill our need to love and be loved.
