It makes me sad that our parents have gone through so many emotional battles, battles that we sometimes never even find out about our whole lives.
They shield us with their backs facing the people/things that could harm us, they become this enormous wall of protection that blocks all That's dangerous to us with a smile on their face, but if they tell us about a sacrifice or two we suddenly become so ungrateful telling them its their duty to protect us and that its no ehsaan.
We grow up and suddenly want them to change their ways and statements as if they are children at a learning age. We keep counting the times we were hurt by them but never count the times they put a bandage on our wounds. Why are we like this, so thankless and selfish.
Images are taken by me
People my age are becoming parents now and we hope that we will be treated nicely by our children when we are old and weak, but haven't we all heard what goes around comes back around? Its not just a phrase. I am not sure why this doesn't scare some of us.
Our parents need care, love and support, we have to be the wall that they can lean against with no worries about it falling. I have promised myself to not be a source of pain for them ever again
Hello @diabatool. What a lovely article. You know, when I think of the many things my parents shielded us from, it's totally amazing. And, like many other children, I didn't give thanks to all they went through to shelter, clothe, and feed us. They didn't have a lot of cash on hand. They had to borrow from others and struggle to pay them back just to take care of us.
As an adult I cry sometimes for all the hurtful things I thought. I was always comparing my life to others and wondering why couldn't we be in the same status. It wasn't until I was an adult I learned from my older siblings the struggles they endured for our sake.
As parents, we do the same thing now for our children without them ever knowing anything is wrong.
This is a heartfelt story for me. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful rest of your week. Take care, and stay safe.
Thank you so much dear for your appreciation and im fully agreed with you🌺❤️
Children often do not realize the pain of being a parent until they are one themselves. However, even as adults, it's sometimes hard to understand (or maybe we just don't want to) how or why our parents did something the way they did when we were younger. The world generally teaches us not to value our parents, I believe, but with conscious effort, we can strive to cause them strife in their 'golden years'.
Thank you for sharing and helping people to stop and think about this. Take care!

Beautifully written @diabatool.
Family is so very important.
Learning how much we need one another; realizing the lengths our parents have gone for us even when we haven't understood; discovering their traumas, challenges and sufferings.
God Bless us all as we learn and grow🌺
