At first, I thought Dr. Sandra Wilson's editor made a mistake-- the title of her book is "Hurt People Hurt People." It wasn't long before I figured it out: Hurt people can't help going around and hurting other people. Specifically, her book is about being hurt by the hurt people in your family. The idea is that, if get close enough to a hurt person, it is just a matter of time before that hurt person hurts you.
But, what are you going to do, you have to be around people that you love? According to Wilson the trick is to only stay far enough away from a hurt person to prevent them from hurting you.
Knowing where the boundary is between too close and too far can make the difference between a relationship that hurts and one that doesn't. Are there hurting people in your life that you need to establish boundaries with?
