The Good Fight - Behind Enemy Lines
The past two weeks we have been discussing how to grow your relationship with your parents, this week is the last lesson on that subject. Our parents may not be the kind of parents we want, they may be harder on us then we think we deserve, or they might be too lax. Either way they are our parents, and we do have a responsibility to grow our relationship with them. Growing it will be hard because you might need to begin by forgiving them. You might need to forgive your dad or mom for walking out on you. You might need to forgive them for checking out on you; they are physically present, but emotionally distant. Or, you might need to ask for forgiveness, perhaps you are not working at your highest potential and this creates fights in your life. Perhaps you are the one checking out because you go hide in your room and play video games, or text, or Myspace all night. Only you know where you need to start. Remember fighting for a relationship with your parents is a fight worth having.
