When we don't know things, we can feel vulnerable. Those who know are in a position to control our lives with that knowledge - even if it is but a small portion. Some have a tendency to hide or even lie to keep others from knowing things. They too feel vulnerable, not because they don't know but because others do. Feeling vulnerable for any reason can inhibit our relationships.
Parents pass more on to their children than they know. It is a shame that we can't recognize our foibles for what they are and at least try to explain them to our children before they become hinderances in their relationships.
When we put our relationships with those we love at risk because of our own unadmitted, unexamined inadequencies,
Lord have mercy.
