Relationship reflections

Relationships are very important to me. I believe that all human beings desire to belong and to feel loved. When that desire isn't met it intensifies and may lead to being something else. I had family, but never felt as if I was loved or belonged. I believe family is the cornerstone and the beginning of a person's life. You can learn a lot about a person by meeting their family. Family does not have to be blood related. Now that I am older I have a better relationship. First I am married. My husband loves me dearly. He shows me in ways to this day, I don't always recognize. My four children, are very important to me. As a child my life was not ideal, so I longed for my own family. I wanted to love and be loved. My mother, I am not close to her, but we are better off than I was as a child. I am not mistreated, but I notice she doesn't put forth a big effort into evolving our relationship, unless she wants something. My husband and I talks, spend time together, not alone that often because we are away from all of our family. My children is constantly taught and talked to. I try to consider their individuality as well as teaching them good ethics morals and values. Its always work when dealing with other people. However, the intensities depends on the people. I learned to accept people for who they are. I learned how to deal with people based on who they are. For example, I took a lot of time in help raising my siblings. One of them is a big liar and a thief. However, I still love him. I don't mistreat him, however I do not trust everything he says and I protect anything I don't want to loose when he is around. My mother doesn't value our relationship, but I misses her and the rest of my family. So I call and talk to her, however I don't push myself on her. I value family, however, family members are still people, so I believe I have to respect each person as an individual.
