Wow, this post made me really smile to myself. Having recently developed greater knowledge and understanding and being subsequently overwhelmed by the revalations to and of my self, i can really relate to the comments made. I would just like to say that this advice not only relates to relationships ie husband/wife. But to all types of relationship you can think of. I cannot emphasize enough to my children the importance of honesty, trust and truth and I am extremely proud to say that I am very proud of my young teenagers who show and deserve respect. I am not the greatest mum in the world but I believe that due to understanding your post and other similar ones on your site my parent/child relationship is far better than I could have ever imagined. My teens are not problems, far from it, of course they try it on but we work on resolutions together, I allow them to be individuals and never try to control them. I know they will push boundaries and respect them for that – we decide between us by compromise where the new boundaries lie. I listen to and understand they’re needs and if i don’t then I ask for further explanations. If as a parent you can relate to doing any of the above you are creating problems for your self and hurting your children. The hurt may manifest itself now or later in your child’s life – and you will not understand nor believe what they tell you. If you feel there is something amiss in your relationship with your children start by examining yourself – get information, read parenting advice and give your child all the love and support in the world. It will improve your relationship dramatically.
