Guest guest Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi and don't feel guilty! I grew up in the same " christian enviroment " and my christian therapist and a pastor set me straight. You are to " honor your parents " which means to give weight to their influence. I does not mean a list of things you do for them such as gifts and cards ect. It also doesn't mean you have to tkae their emotional abuse. It means that you are to honor them by growing up and becoming a functioning member of society. My nada has accused me of not loving her and I used to try very hard to hide it, but how can you love someone that didn't really love you? Also, you are to love yourself first or you can't love anyone else - when my dr. said it was okay to protect myself, I finally started to get enough separation to learn to love myself.
