Our communication, relations never stay the same no matter with whom:  whether parents, brother, sisters, partners or friends.
Being completely emotionally or financially dependent on any of the relations above is a sure invite for misery because when there is coherence among our way of living and theirs, then you are secure. But what happens when there is no coherence at all?
And there is never a guarantee that our relations always remain the same. It is in such a scenario that being self-sufficient, being financially and emotionally strong takes the spotlight.
Only when we are left with no support that we realize how important it is to become the main source of strength for ourselves.
