Doomed to Repeat

What can you say when you see your grown children repeating the same things that haven't worked in your own life? The other night, my daughter was telling me that she just wasn't ready to walk away from the boyfriend that has lied to her about important issues over and over. What was I supposed to say to that? If anyone should be able to understand not being ready to walk away from someone who isn't good for you, it's me.

I see the kids acting like me, I see them acting like Brick. Sometimes they're copying the good things but all too often it's the bad.
