I was running the other morning, contemplating the drama in my life. I was using my little sisters ipod and this song came on that said exactly what I was feeling.
"Everyone lets you down sometime, it is just a matter of how far down they go."
Profound huh? So I was thinking how far down is directly proportional to how close you are to them. We have all experienced betrayal of some kind, it just seems to hurt a lot more when you think you are safe.
So here is the purpose of my post. How do you teach your children that even though this is bound to happen that the rewards of trust and friendship outweigh the hurt of deception and betrayal. The are just part of the risk.
ok I know I am not usually very cerebral but I have my moments. :)

Teach your children? I'm still trying to get that life lesson. Kinda puts a damper on any relationship
My parents just taught me that no one is perfect and everyone has faults, even family members and best friends.
