“Every person in that house knows and accepts the risks involved with protecting you and that won’t stop whether you are in the house or out on the road. The twins and Remmy would’ve woken up in the morning and begun searching for you. Do you want to divide us and make us weak? Do you want to get them killed because they are scattered all over the globe looking for you? Running is the liability, Ms. Lawson. There is no weakness in allowing others to help you, or for allowing yourself to care about others. People need people. You cannot grow without them. Alone you can live and love, be happy, sad, angry…but you cannot grow. Change is painful. It is the hurt we experience in relationships that helps us to grow and change. The struggle is the gift.”
