301--Family Unit Continues

How do we communicate our feelings? Not love, not nurture, not caring...How do we as people access and communicate the real feelings of family? Possesivness? Defense? A huge part of family is feelings of ownership and belonging. How do we communicate this, and what happens when it's interrupted?

Go. Talk to me.

"Yeah, I guess it does take a lot of trust. I guess, if I'm the one in need of protection, I'd trust my oldest sister to do that. I think that's what family is all about. Trust."
