Quotes to ponder:
"Even once we've reached adulthood, it can be difficult to challenge a parent's authority and insist on changing the status quo."
"No matter how old you are, how dysfunctional your relationships are, or how scary the people in your life can sometimes be, you can always make a change. You can always learn how to speak up, take risks, and know your worth."
"Adults are not trapped in relationships. Adults get to choose who they allow into their lives."
