You know that feeling when you feel your parents will never understand you?

This just came to me recently.

For so many years, I thought I was the one burdened. But really, the so called parents are hurting too. Maybe their reason is the same as mine. Maybe they too are just like us.

That for so many years, they also believed their own parents never really understood them...so maybe that's why they couldn't be more for us.

But let's stop that in this generation, yes? It may lead to a more challenging road. Caring often does. But I hope you'll take the time to stop and just listen..listen for the sake of wanting to understand instead of just aiming to be understood. Because maybe like me, you'll realize your parents really do care in the only way they know how.

And if that's not enough then at least we're on to a good start. With care established, now we can move onwards, teaching each other how we want to be loved.
Many times in my adulthood I have apologized to my parents for my behavior when I was young. They did an amazing job raising me and still loved me through my terror years.

Great post!

You can't stop it. By the time you're a parent, too many years go by.

Maybe (maybe) if you write yourself some letters now... you'll remember and be stronger... but you'll probably forget like the rest of us parents.
