Every day we face all types of problems. Some seem to have no solutions, especially when the “problems” are related to an important relationship.
Relationships are complicated. How we relate to our parents, our brothers and sisters, our spouse, or our children, all require different levels of communication. It can be quite a balancing act to keep everyone happy, and keep things running smoothly.
The difficulties arise when things happen outside of our control, and we are affected. Sometimes it takes age and experience to understand that we can’t live someone else’s life for them. We cannot prevent our spouse from saying something that causes an issue, we can’t control adult children and prevent their mistakes, and we can’t stay in relationships that are unhealthy, regardless of the pain separation causes.
Accept your mistakes. Realize that apologies won’t kill you. Understand that experience allows growth and maturity to occur and that you can turn your life around. Be proud of who you are becoming. You are a work in process, and you are amazing! “Now let’s get going!” xo Sally
