Coming to Terms with your Parents

You may rightly be angry with your parents for disrupting your life. As one young man bitterly put it: " My parents are selfish. They didn't really thing about how and how what they did would affect us. They just went ahead and made their plans." This may be true. But can you go through your life carrying a load of anger and bitterness and not harm yourself?
Let all malicious bitterness and anger and wrath..... be taken away from you....But become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving to one another. How can you forgive someone who has hurt you so deeply? Try to view your parents objectively-as fallible, imperfect humans. Yes, even parents 'sin and fall short of the glory of God.' Realizing this can help you come to terms with your parents.
Talk out your Feelings
I've never really discussed how I felt about my parents' divorce. Though initially impassive the youth became increasingly emotional-even tearful-as he spoke about his parents' divorce. Feelings that had long been buried were unearthed. Talking it out really helps children.
