Life is never easy and we know that anything that is really good in life really isn't a breeze. In America we have a crisis with the family unit, too many single parents or absentee fathers. This is causing stress on the family unit and takes its toll on kids, these emotional scars do not go away and often last into adulthood.
Thus, adults often tend to blame their parents for quite a bit what happens to them later in life and at some point these feelings need to be vented, understood and reckoned with; it is for this reason, that I would like you to explore your own family situation. Do you have such issues that you would like to address, some emotional baggage that you would like to stop? If you do, then I would very much like to recommend a very good book to you that, perhaps might help you with this particular issue of yours?
"Forgiving Your Parents" by Robert Freeman Bent - 1990.
This was quite a fascinating book and should probably be read by every parent and about a third of the population. Why, because there is indeed, so much baggage that families carry and this work goes thru all the emotional issues, that can happen between parents and children. Personally and luckily, I come from a rather perfect family, without any issues, but this book sure helped me understand some of my friends and their family issues, wow, I cannot believe the problems that are out there, no wonder so many families are so messed up and so many individuals are so angry?
