Which "First"?

When I was in Nursing School, a book was recommended to me by one of my instructors.  It was called Toxic Parents.  I think I read it in a single afternoon.  I thought I understood what drove me to do certain things with certain people, yet I kept making the same damn mistakes each and every time in my more personal relationships.

It wasn't until I had children of my own that I realized my mistakes would become theirs.

That scared me, because I had grown to realize my married life was just like the marriage that almost destroyed me.

(So much for therapy!)
