Where is the hope and excitement? What has got you stuck or tired and ready to give up? Have you lost trust in a partner or is the fighting and frustration in your family overwhelming you. A family can be the place where you are safe and are understood. The home can be a warm place full of love or a cold and bitter place you run from.
