Love the Ones You Hate

Troy is interesting. When he pushes us so far that one of us yells at him, he will run to the other person for comfort and support. But what he really wants is to hug the person that yelled at him. It’s almost like he wants to make amends with that person, and he can’t really move forward until he does. It’s like that old saying, “Don’t let the sun go down on a fight.” I’m glad he’s like that. It’s healthy. But it’s also hard for us, because we need time to cool down first. We’re having to learn to downshift much quicker and reconnect with him.
