forgiveness

forgiveness It takes a long time to grow up. Some never make it. Coming up on valentine day I will speak of a different love. Between and parents. The rebel years of the teens often puts strains on the relations between parent and . There is a hard line to draw between trying to protect the young person from bad outcomes, and being too much of a control freak. Slowly feeling your way seems to work best from my experience and observations. Parents who try too hard to be a friend and not a parent lead to a Lindsey Lohan type disaster. Parents who are too involved can create other bad problems. One time I asked my why he liked being with a particular friend. He truthfully answered that he liked his house because they were totally unsupervised! That gave me a pause, but nothing terrible happened so I accepted that freedomwas needed as well. This friend's parents divorced and they gave the computers, video games and comic books instead of family time together. Back to the big picture. I miss my parents who have passed away. But I also had to learn how to accept them for the fallible people they were. I learned how to forgive them, and forgive myself for the short comings we had and shared. No one is perfect and I know that is true of me and my relatives... So lets love and forgive the all too humans we are. |

I was lucky as my folks were better off than some and we had food, a roof, and lots of toys and books and other opportunities so we were able to thrive. So considering the stress and chances we did well.
