Peter Pan Syndrome

 I read this term in a book a long time ago. It happens when men, or women, refuse to grow up. My ex husband had this problem. He was ok with providing for me and our daughters for 6 years but then it was like he was done being an adult. He wanted to go live with his mommy. So he did. He went crazy so he would have an excuse to run back home and have them take care of him. Some men never can leave home. They refuse to learn to fly. 

Most adults cannot handle being adults. Have you noticed this? The extreme of this is when a person kills themselves. Other people just check out. Other people worry all the time. Other people mask their fear in anger and act super tough. But really they are a scared little boy inside. A lot of women feel lost and alone. We don't know how to be an adult. What are we supposed to do with life? What is the purpose? So most of us just waste all our time doing pointless things. We never really figure it out. Why we are here. We remain confused most of our lives. 

Do you know why you exist? Hopefully you will find your purpose eventually. Until then go ahead and remain a child. When you decide to grow up, God will show you what he wants you to do.
