We don’t really realize how hard it is for two people with messed up childhoods and past trauma to come together and be in a peaceful and healthy relationship. None of what we’ve known has been right for us. 

And sometimes, no matter how much we know or how much we love, our anger gets the best of us.

We are all so angry at the way this life has been.

But maybe with a little more love and patience, anger will recede and compassion will win over. Just maybe.
