Ever since childhood I have suspected you get along better if you respect people's ways and wishes regardless of your apparent relative strengths. That doesn't mean you let people walk on you. It doesn't mean you eat their pain for them. You need to demand respect for yourself, too. (Glen Cook)

The monsters of our childhood do not fade away, neither are they ever wholly monstrous. But neither, in my experience, do we ever reach a plane of detachment regarding our parents, however wise and old we may become. To pretend otherwise is to cheat. View quote
