POPPY: 25 December 2016 POPPY (standing up to Paul): You see family life as respecting boundaries and saying what makes people happy and treating everyone like they’re treasured but only in a sanitized way. I see family life as invading everyone’s privacy and saying whatever I feel and treating everyone as they’re treasured because they’re my family and thus special as compared to the rest of the world. I see a good family as loud and frantic and intrusive.. He fits me, and I don’t want to change. Not for you or anyone. I’m deeply in love with myself, and Emmett respects that..“ I’m not her (Christine). I don’t have a dream to fix animal boo-boos. Loving Emmett and living close to my family are the only dreams I see as worth having. Bijou Hunter
About This Quote

Family life is not an idealized version of family life. It is messy and imperfect. Families are not immune to conflict, emotional pain or emotional depth. When families are free of our own emotional baggage, they are more able to embrace the people who are closest to them without fear of rejection.
