Family & Close Relationships (2nd Base)

Second Base:  FAMILY & CLOSE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

The truth is that I made the mistake of thinking I could skip 1st Base and head right to 2nd.

I was a mother, a wife, a daughter, a friend. There just weren't enough hours in the day to manage any more than taking care of others.

When my daughter started having a hard time at life (age 13), I was told that the best thing I could do for her, was to take care of myself.

Hence, the way to make it to 2nd base and have meaningful relationships with others, is to make sure you tag 1st.

RESOURCES:
Here are some valuable resources that help me when I've done all I can on 1st base, but am still stranded on 2nd:

1. "Boundaries When to Say Yes, When to Say No to Take Control of Your Life" by author's Henry/ Townsend Cloud

2. Daybreak Treatment Center for troubled adolescents (Germantown, TN)

3.  "Love: The Course they Forgot to Teach You in School," by Greg Godek

4.  Trina O'Quinn & Brisa Samudio (two fabulous counselors in CA)
