[quote=Anonymous]After talking with friends and siblings over the years, I realized few people get the parents they wanted. What helped me accept my parents as they were, and not as I wanted, was to understand them as people. I asked about their lives during their childhoods, young adult years, early marriage years, and parenting years before I arrived. My dad didn't want to talk much, so his mother and my mother helped fill in the pieces. Live wasn't easy for them, just like it's not easy for me. By seeing them are people who struggled, I learned to forgive them for not being the parents I needed. I also learned to value their strengths of loyalty, honesty, and consistency.[/quote]
