"For them, it is not a crises, it is an awakening, and they feel like they are finally on the correct path. Everything in their past means nothing to them, including us. We only remind them of their life they see as a failure.

When we understand this it helps us to be compassionate towards them, and not take their rejection of us so personally. It really is about them, not us.

This is the greatest pain that you and I have likely faced in our life, but know that theirs is even worse!"
