Time and change

Lately I feel like I can’t relate to anyone in my immediate family. What used to be our strongest connections seem to have been lost with time. Things that made our bonds strongest changed with the passing of time and kids growing up. Even with my husband, who suddenly seems like a stranger. I’ve been in a path of healing this past year and perhaps I’ve found my true self. Be that as it may, it is still hard to realize that the ones you love the most seem the farthest from you.

I wonder if this isn't a natural thing brought on by the many stressors in life..., the changes in family members and ourselves that come about as we live through those stressors, and the paths we each take.

@Ontheroad I am certain of it, it is just hard going through it

@Summerstorms2018 It is for sure hard. I am more or less on the other side of it now, and I clearly remember how difficult some of the realizations were to deal with.
