crusts and grunts

For me to open up to my wife and children has been really difficult and usually I fail. In a familiar relationship we develop shorthand and habits. Habits get encrusted. Shorthand becomes code. Eventually (without working at it), we are left with crusts and grunts—empty of real communication, empty of openness and vulnerability, let alone of conversation. It takes fresh effort, and courage, to step through.
