There are people, things, feelings and situations that most human beings believe they cannot do without. If this is your ‘creed’, too, it is not easy for you to be happy. The fact is that you are who you are, independently from anything outside yourself. If you think of all the stuff that fills your life, you may realize that you can detach yourself from most of it, that you don’t really have the 'need' of it. Other people, family members included, are here to fulfill their own lives. Such lives are independent from yours, even though sometimes it might seem otherwise. Husband and wife, parents and children, partners, best friends… the tie between them is evidently very strong but the knot is never too tight that it cannot be undone. You love them, you care for them, you wish them well, but they are "their own persons" and nothing you do will really have a determining impact on how their lives will eventually unfold.
