I’ve Been Thinking

Jul 9, 2010 by Paula

…about my parents.  I have no relationship with them.  I was angry back then with both of them because I thought they both abandoned me but that was way back when I was in my rebellious teen years.  Now that I’m already a mom I have become more understanding of their situation.  That’s life really.  You make mistakes and once it’s done you can’t do anything about it but move forward and make sure you learn from it so you won’t make the same mistakes in the future.  I understand that they were young then and still immature.  I could have easily made the same mistakes but I guess I’m more lucky I didn’t.

So now we’re all civil and talking to each other but sometimes I can’t help but think what if I was close to them?  I want to know them more and although I’m already married I still want their guidance.  So I think it’s a good thing that we have moved closer.  I would certainly visit them more often now and I hope we can finally bridge the gap that we have the relationship we’re supposed to have.
