The teachers we need most are the people we're living with now.

Our spouses, parents and children are the greatest masters we could hope for. Again and again, they will show us the truth that we don't want to see until we finally see it.

(They) will continue to press every button we have until we realize what it is that we don't want to know about ourselves, yet.

They point us to our freedom every time.

Byron Katie

Everyone you meet on your path is a teacher, you will learn something from each one. You are also here to teach others, as well as to learn your lessons.  Usually, the people that you find the hardest to deal with, will teach you the most significant lessons. You find them hard to deal with since they are the ones that push the buttons that connect to deepest, darkest parts of you. They are showing you the truth, and you will see it when you see it, not before. But they will continue to push until you realize what you don't want to know.

Therefore, even though you find them frustrating, they too, have a purpose in your life. They point you to your freedom. In the end, you will be grateful to them for all they have done for you. 

Recognize that they are here to aid you on your journey, let the frustration and anger go, and take a look at what they are saying and doing. They, too, have a message and it is for YOU.
