Long ago, I was sitting listening to a friend talk about her son and sat in disbelief as she said to me, "I told my son that nothing was ever going to come easy for him and that he would have to work hard for everything in life because he wasn't born rich and never would be rich and that is just the way it is."
In one sentence, she robbed her impressionable son of any optimism he might have had about his life and probably stole a few dreams too.
Her life had been a hard one and she struggled as a single mother raising two children after her husband died in a tragic accident. Her hopes and dreams had been shattered but I do not think she realized she was projecting her life upon him.
