Your earthly father may or may not have fulfilled your emotional needs. The same with your mother. And what of it? Are you not here because of them? All of you made an agreement before coming to this life that you would make a family, whether or not you stayed together, whether or not you shared love. You were all exactly what the other needed for your individual souls’ growth.
If the relationship you now share is completely loving, then you have come a long way and healed many wounds in this life and others. If there is a lack of love, then you continue to help each other. Do you see this? What better way to learn to love unconditionally, just as does your heavenly Father-Mother, than to love those who allowed your spirit to take on physical form, no matter how human they were.
Love knows no bounds, but the human does. The human sets conditions, even with those who brought the human into this world. It seems a strange way to learn to grow, but actually, it is quite brilliant.
