We can help prevent this from happening to our children by teaching them to be curious and creative, and by raising them in a culture that supports those traits.#2 I began to understand that when a child’s development is arrested, feelings are repressed, and especially the feelings of anger and hurt, a person will grow up to be an adult with an angry, hurt child inside of him.#3 Co-dependence is a dis-ease characterized by a loss of identity. It is fostered in unhealthy family systems. People who are co-dependent lose touch with their own feelings, needs, and desires, and instead become dependent on something outside of themselves to have an identity.#4 The family environment is extremely important for children. When the family is filled with violence, the child must focus on the outside. Without a healthy inner life, one is exiled to trying to find fulfillment on the outside.
