One of the best things we did…
…for the emotional health of our children is what we decided about devices and social media! Some of the most emotionally unhealthy kids I see… a big factor is a lack of boundaries in this area. What’s one of the best things you’ve done for your kids’ emotional wellbeing?

I think the best decisions in this area are taking time every evening with him. We almost don't have screen time. That helps a lot. And I think a good decision is for me to be in therapy, so I can proces my emotions better
A loaded gun
I recognized I collected bullets towards my mother and father over the years... When I reached adulthood. I started to unload on my mother for the years of pain I experienced in my childhood. Does anyone else find themselves still loading their emotional gun towards their parents?

@Hallie Von Kaenel ah okay, thanks for the explanation. I understand what you are saying now. I don't think I do that. I feel those emotions but for me the longing for wholeness is to strong that I choose to act different
Lies about emotions
What are some lies ya'll have believed about emotions? I'll start, I believed that I couldn't show the true emotions I was feeling as a kid in fear that I would get yelled at.

For me it was almost never save to express emotions you never knew how my parent's would react on it. So for me it is still difficult to express my emotions. I had to learn what emotions really were in the first place. So I have learned that what I feel isn't okay and I am afraid of expressing them.

@Catherine Ibarra that is so sad šŸ˜”
True or false?
A broken hearted parent will likely break their children’s hearts. And why? Ps 147:3 Is 61:1

I sadly experienced it myself. There always will be a moment that it is too much to handle and all the old manners will show up. But it is not the end of the story!!!!
One sign there’s emotional incompleteness in our family.
We may have a sense that our family is not as happy or fulfilling as we would like it to be. If you haven’t already, start going through the free course here at this link

Wow, again and again I feel overwhelmed by the stories from others. Many many people have gone through so much pain. I know for myself also. And if you don't know better you can think it is okay. But if I am really thinking it through I know there is still so much to change and to learn. I am at the moment going through therapy because of my past. But I can hardly do it because it is so much.
