Why did I not read this before?

I bought this book after the horrible emotional ordeal I endured at the hands of other Christians in Mexico because I knew on some level I had trusted people I should not have trusted. The book, Safe People: How To Find Relationships That Are Good For You And Avoid Those That Aren't, has been sitting on my book shelf ever since. I believe I started to read it back then - early in 1999 - but never got very far into it. If I had read it then I could have avoided so much additional pain and heartache in countless unsafe relationships I've endured. But I think on some level I wasn't ready yet to hear it's message. I get it now. Wow do I get it. I'm finally growing up and it's not the horrible thing I always thought it would be. I get it. I understand. The personal growth I'm experiencing is phenomenal. It's like a veil has finally been lifted and I can actually see clearly for the first time in my life.
