Yes. My mom cheated on my dad and forced me to hide it from my dad. Not to mention the years of physical and emotional abuse I had to endure. This lady is a witch. My dad, he's always been hot and cold. He didn't believe me when I told him about my mom's cheating. The truth came to the surface and he held me responsible for her cheating. They're both soon to be estranged. I'm just trying to play it nice until I find a decent paying job. Once I become financially stable in a couple of months, they'll be out of my life. IP: Logged |

Most people have issues w their parents. If we are lucky or play our cards right we dont carry them into the world with us but most do...until we resolve them one way or another. I believe we choose our parents...and thus the lessons we learn from them...IP: Logged |

I agree. I look at my personality, and my needs, and my relationship with my parents make sense even if its been hard at times. IP: Logged |

i agree. but after the lessons are learned it's better if certain people are not in your life anymore. (especially if you are much more at peace without them there). one of the lessons i learned was not to keep abusive people in my life.

Yes.Like another poster has said though,
the primary relationships are huge opportunities for growth,
due to the impact of the parent archetype on the vulnerability of the child. There doesn't have to be outright abuse for there to be issues. Relationships are hard. For a long time I viewed my parents as the ones with the problems, but that didn't help me. We can blame the other, but the responsibility to effect change is ours. I believe we can improve our relationships directly by improving our perception of ourselves. IP: Logged |
