It is so hard to watch your children make the same relationship mistakes that you made. I want to shake them and tell them, "Can't you see what you're doing?"... "Can't you see the damage you are creating?"...
No, they can't. They haven't lived long enough to know. They haven't hurt someone else so badly that the bond may be irreparably damaged. They haven't experienced the depths of terror and fear that they may, actually, lose that person forever. And in some cases....they don't even know how important the person they are hurting is to them...and will be for the rest of their lives.
Regrets...I can see them piling up...but they don't see.
All I can do is pray for them. Lord open their eyes and their hearts. Teach them patience and compassion. Help them to understand the love is an action, not just words. Help them to grow to understand that they are only happiest when they are pouring out themselves for somebody else.
