Intoxicating relationships

Look back on your past relationships, and I don't just mean your most recent ex. I'm talking about your parents, your grandparents and any other role models you might have had in your early years. That's right we're going WAY back. Whether you realize it or not, the early relationships we observer affect the way we experience love, intimacy, and compassion. It's all about those patterns of behavior that are instilled in us by what we absorb. Think about that for a second and realize that change starts with you. Are you in a relationship that is a positive influence on those around you? On your kids? Look inwards. If the way you love and allow yourself to be loved isn't what you would want for them than it damn sure shouldn't be what you want for yourself! It's hard to break the cycle of an intoxicating relationship. However, if you're ready and willing to commit to doing the work with your partner, you can break your bad habits and create worthwhile relationships that will positively impact your life. If you do, I promise you'll be better for it!
