Getting older sucks.....
As a child I know I looked at my parents as they could no no wrong. Then as I got older, moved out, got married etc..... I began to see faults. Believe me it was hard to see and even understand. When your parents do something that hurts you when you are a child you are expected to suck it up and respect them. What about when you are hurt by your parents when you are an adult? Is it appropriate to set a boundary or do you continue to suck it up? I prefer to go with the first one. It is hard when you become a peer with your parents (i.e. no longer a child but a consenting adult) In one way my Mom and Dad will always be my Mom and Dad but at the same time I must set boundaries and enforce them because I have a family to raise and I am now an individual from them. Ya know what? It sucks! I hate hurting them when I put my foot down but I want to enjoy our relationship and to have a relationship with them there NEEDS to be honesty. Hmmmmm....I wish somethings did not have to be so painful. It was hard enough to get to thirty! I'm gonna go pout or clean or something.......BYE
