When we don't learn healthy boundaries in childhood, we don't develop a strong sense of self. Without a strong sense of self, we aren't able to see the people we become attached to as separate, personally responsible individuals with their own will, on their own life journey.

We are bound to experience disappointment in relationships until we learn to see people as they currently are & consciously choose to invest in ourselves.
