Realizing Being on Their Own

They were feeling lost and once again doubtful of their capabilities. They felt like a lost child and longed for their parents’ embrace. With this longing, they recalled that every time they turned to their parents, they felt more inadequate, misunderstood, and lost. They recognized that their parents cared and meant well but they also struggled with unresolved issues that ended up being projected onto their child. Though they tried theorizing why their parents couldn't seem to love them or believe in them confidently, they started to recognize how separate their lives and problems were. They didn't need approval or understanding from their parents and couldn't expect something from people who were struggling in their own way. 

In life, we are taught the separate roles that people are to play and when we're caught in uncertainty, we tend to want to be saved without recognizing where the person we assigned the role to may be. Though we think answers will be achieved by turning to who we've chosen to believe in, they may not be available for our needs. No matter who they are or how they relate to our situation, they too are people with underlying issues to deal with. It's a disappointment when we can't achieve the resolution but perhaps there's something we're supposed to realize on our own and we're being led away from dependency.
