Coping with Parents

• Do your parents embarrass you?
  

• Do they try to live their lives through you?
  

• Do they make excessive demands on you?
  

• Are you being abused?
  

• Do your friends make fun of your parents?
  

• How do you cope with your parents?
  

• Have they inhibited or stunted your development?
  

• Can you forgive your parents?
  

• We never choose our natural parents.
  

• We do not choose where we are born.
  

• We do not choose where we are brought up yet despite all this we carve out a life for ourselves.
  

• Parents may attempt to live their lives through us, they may abuse us, sap our confidence and humiliate us. This can go on to adult life and can leave us with guilt and depression
