PARENTAL DREAMS (part-2)
Parents know well that they have little
control over their children as soon as they become adults. But still the desire
to control may linger out of habit. Parents may be a linger lenient in this matter when their
child lives according to their expectation. But not when the situation is just
the other way round. Parents try to exercise maximum control upon a wayward
adult. But unfortunately, this may aggravate the problem ! Parenting is the
vocation of weaning a child to independence-
Physical, psychological , spiritual . And not keeping the child under
control forever. The parents should feel content about the job they have done
in the given time and leave the rest to God. They have to let go of all their
negative feeling of guilt, anger, disappointment, etc. For, after all, all
these days they have been very good parents to their child and they still are.
This is not completely abandoning the parental duties but merely shifting to
another phase of parenting.
