Acceptance brings healing and forgiveness can bring peace. Read this 👇🏾. The time to apply this two principles is now..later can come too late ✌🏽
Parents are people too. Given their upbringings and what they learned in their early years, they developed coping mechanisms which, of course, played out in all later relationships. Can we say, they tried their best, given what they knew at the time?
We sometimes have specific ideas of what a perfect parent should be. In a perfect world, all of our needs would be met. Some people are lucky enough to have had that experience, but in a great many cases, the stuff of life gets in the way. Let's release the weight of unrealistic expectations and judgment. Instead, consider making some space for compassion and forgiveness, for both our parents and ourselves. 💖
The narrative we give our relationships can do much to move towards healing. So, consider acknowledging their efforts and hold onto the beautiful moments that are part of the picture.. Their journey shaped them, as ours shapes us. Together, we learn, we grow, and we evolve. 🌻
