"My Parents Turned Their Backs On Me." About The Fateful Decision - Relationships, Society

I was 18 when I got pregnant, my parents threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't have an abortion. I chose my future baby and left home. Now I am married, I have a son. But my parents still do not communicate with me. Please tell me how I can improve my relationship with them, because they are my parents … Vera, 27 years old

You have done a very courageous thing. They chose the life of their unborn child, did not commit murder. Your future, and not your parental family, turned out to be more important to you at that time at home and your parents

Very often, parents do not want to let their children go, give them the opportunity to "fly away from the nest." This is especially true for mothers and their daughters. In addition, the anger, dissatisfaction and reluctance of your parents to make contact can be explained by the fact that they still feel guilty before you for all the difficulties that you have experienced.

Problems in understanding, conflicts in the family - all this your parents may well consider as the reason that provoked the fact of early pregnancy and the fact that you had to leave home

Do not allow your relationship with your parents to negatively affect your son and husband. Now you have your own life. You are an independent person capable of making decisions. Try to be condescending to your parents, it is worth talking to them.

Much time has passed, and it is quite possible that gradually the insult will pass and joy for your family will come in its place. But time must pass. You need patience, and most importantly - confidence that now your own family and its well-being are in the first place for you.
