One of our jobs is to keep giving them the open I-accept-you-right-where-you-are attitude, even though that is really difficult on our part. They know it hurts us. It's like they can't help it. Hurting us is a by-product of their journey of self-discovery.
I think the love between you two is an underlying current that keeps you connected.
