Love's Own Truth

"When the family is brought into order, an individual from that family can leave the nest. He feels the power of the family behind him. Only when the connection to the family is recognized and the responsibilities are taken up by the appropriate members, does the individual feel free of burden. Each can go his own way, without the past burdening him and tying him down."
