@faghmeedafaghmeeda: We spend so much of our adult lives analysing what our parents got wrong… but how often do we stop to remember that our parents were once children too? They had their own wounds. Their own disappointments. Their own unresolved experiences. They were learning how to be adults, spouses and parents while carrying whatever life had already handed them. That doesn't excuse abuse or harmful behaviour. But understanding someone's wounds can sometimes help us understand their behaviour without excusing it. And let's be honest… we weren't perfect children either. We disappointed our parents. We made mistakes. We made choices they didn't understand. Maybe adulthood is learning that our parents were human beings before they were our parents. And one day, our own children may have to extend that same grace to us. Can you hold your boundaries while still having compassion for your parents? #parents #adultchildren #family #healing #understanding
