all the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear

When your son is healthy and happy, you're healthy and happy. And when your son is not healthy, let's say you're unhappy.

The world is nothing but my perception of it. I see only through myself. I hear only through the filter of my story.

I stopped waiting for the world to give me what I wanted; I started giving it to myself.

The whole world is simply my story, projected back to me on the screen of my own perception. All of it.

I'm the one I need to work with.

Thinking that what you want equals what's best for you is a dead end.
