The Importance of Character in Relationships

We have a strong belief that character is a major determinant of behaviour. We don't account for the fact that people develop, people change in priorities and they behave differently overtime. This is especially a thing acute when you're talking about parents and children. The mam who thinkst the adolescent son always needs help has trouble adapting to the fact that maybe the adolescent son now is 25 years old and perhaps doesn't need her help as much. And recognizing the skill changes or the need changes that a child goes through is often difficult for parents to keep up with.
