Her family... Love and involvement brought joy, but as well could become a hideously heavy millstone slung about one's neck. And the worst was that she felt useless because there was not a mortal thing she could do to help resolve their problems.

About This Quote

When you are in a relationship with someone you love, it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the things that they go through. Sometimes there are family problems, and sometimes there are financial difficulties. But it is important to remember that your partner is in this world for a reason, and it is important to not forget that. We all need support in our lives, and when it comes time for us to give support to others, we should always give it in the way that would make them happiest.
