Caring For My Whole Family

[Reclusive]

Mercy - I just hope you're doing okay. Be good to yourself, remember, you're only human.

My daughter and I have been working on affirmations, me speaking them & her liking them. I have been given a little more time before she moves into the rest of her life to heal the hurts between us.

Mercy, the affirmations are a great idea!! Please don't forget that a little can go a long long way to mending a relationship, what happens today can and how YOU TAKE CARE OF YOU ;) today will reflect highly on how well you and your daughter interact in the future.

A few affirmations your way too, please, don't forget that you must do this. Without you there is no Mother/Daughter relationship. You are the role model, so we as parents have to let our children know it's okay to take care of ourselves when we get ill, if we don't who will? I see it as "we have to be strong enough". My mother never was, though she seems to be diluted into thinking just the opposite.

peace and healing,
Rain

Thanks Rain, I appreciate your knowledge in this area. I have a question. Can I voice calmly to my daughter that my feelings have been hurt by something she said that embarrassed me in front of her friends? Is it asking of her what she is too young to understand. (22) Maybe we are not at the two way street yet? I am very unsure what the boundaries of a healthy dynamic are.
