Relationships
Relationships have basic components that keep them in a state of health. One component, is a balance of independence and security.
Independence. An individual identity, connection and self-esteem outside of the relationship.
Security. Safety in the relationship. When you reach out, you can depend on them to be there for you.
There is not a perfect balance of the two, but you need both.
