Thanks for sharing the wonderful poetry and graphics. Love the distinction between bonds and bandage.

I am into personality tests as they help me articulate things about me. This post reminded me of attachment styles and how parenting plays a key role in it. Based on the article, Seems like you have a “secure” attachment with your parents. My relationship is “dismissing” where i am not anxious about their love but avoid sharing my thoughts and feelings. I had to work to build secure attachments with my partner and the world in general.

In case anyone is interested in taking the test

It’s a lovely write up about the invisible bonds of family! Bonds that sometimes suffocate sometimes allow you to fly . My upbringing was in a middle class family with working parents and while they touched base everyday there was rarely a time to cosset and be protective. So we learned to be independent very early in life . I find myself doing quite the opposite as a parent, as if to make up for those moments of insecurity, and feeling rudderless! I struggle to let go … but feel great pride when I do that and find them blooming!
