I know that so many adults still fear a serious conversation with their parent.
It always depends on the trauma and I wouldn't talk about it with my parents. But I forgave and made my peace, at least for now. I cannot turn back time and the mistakes they made I have to live with, so do they. Talking wouldn't help in that case.
The time is never right if you think with fear.
True, but there are times for certain things. It sometimes is not a bad thing to push stuff away but sooner or later it will creep up again.
A child needs two parents who can function in a normal healthy way.
That would be the ideal case, but you can also be healthy and normal with just one parent. It's more a matter of love, care and empathy.
It's a diverse topic and each individual carries its own burden and therefor own way of dealing with stuff. That's why I like Alfred Adler. He founded the Indivdual Psychology where every single person with its different experiences is taken into account. Psychology is just as diverse as each person on this planet.
Great writing though, enjoyed reading it 🤗
Being able to forgive without being able to sort things out.... This is a tough one and I can admire people who manage to do this without having tension and anger inside. It is very difficult.
Kids do need parents, but often enough it happens that they don't have them around. Mentally or physically. My grandmother raised me and my sister as soon as my parents separated and she did a great job. I would not be what I am today if she wouldn't have taken the burden. It helps if one parent can be responsible, but if both of them are, the kids are lucky to have anyone take care of them. Single parenting is tough and it takes a lot of effort, my hats off in front of anyone doing that because I have seen it with my own eyes at my grandmother.
Thank you for reading and have a great week ahead🤗💐
