Words by Dragon #13 ~ Healing! (Pt 2)

Parenting your parents isn't working because they're stuck in their deep-rooted cycles of generational traumas. You can't force healing on anyone. Everyone moves at their own pace. If you choose to stay, do it because you can accept them, not because you think you can change them.

A friend of mine made a good point regarding this. It's best to meet people where they are and leave them there. Doesn't mean you have to forget about them, but it means to love them from there. Simply remove yourself and visit with boundaries.

However, we have to give our parents the utmost care and respect they deserve but not at the cost of our own identity. Travel, explore, and create something new.
