Transitional Characters
Excerpt from my marriage and family relationship course:
“A transitional character is one who, in a single generation, changes the entire course of the lineage. The changes might be for good or ill, but they break the mold. They refuse the observation that abused children become abusive parents...their contribution to humanity is to filter the destructiveness out of their own lineage so that generations downstream will have a supportive foundation upon which to build productive lives.”
Every family has its issues. But we all make our own choices, despite our family circumstances.
Will you be a transitional character in your family?
