[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents said some very mean things to me when I was a kid, and it really hurt my feelings. As a kid it's really hard to understand that people sometimes say things they don't mean. I think the advice you've gotten here is good--apologize honestly, tell him how it happened, how you felt at the time and how badly you feel that you said something hurtful. [b]My parents never acknowledged or apologized for the hurtful things they said to me, and while it's true that you can't unring a bell, I do think an honest heartfelt apology helps.[/b][/quote] +1 My mother had a hard time admitting when she was wrong and rarely apologized. I make sure that I step up when I need to with my own kids as a result. It makes a difference.[/quote]
