Deb Caletti Quotes About Parents

Quotes about: Parents

• You can forget that other people carry pieces of your own story around in their heads.

• I wondered if parents had an easier time with the secrets their children kept than children did with the secrets of their parents. A parent's secrets seemed like some sort of betrayal, where my own just seemed like a fact of life and growing up and away. I was supposed to be independent, but he was supposed to be available. Him having his own life seemed selfish, where me having my own was the right order of things.
