Have you ever looked at your parents and thought, Why do they act like children sometimes? I know it sounds strange, but here’s the shocking truth: many parents, emotionally, are still eight years old. Yes, eight! They may have adult bodies and all the responsibilities of grown-ups, but emotionally, they’re carrying wounds and behaviors from their childhood. No one taught them how to process their feelings, so they just kept repeating the patterns of their parents. And guess what? That’s why so many of us struggle in our relationships with them. I know this first hand because I’ve been there. For years, I fought with my parents, felt misunderstood, and even avoided them because the pain was just too much. Every argument left me feeling small, unloved, and hopeless. But something changed. I learned how to connect with my own inner child—the part of me that needed love and reassurance. I started to see their inner child—the hurt, scared little boy or girl inside my parents who didn’t know how to love me in the way I needed. And I began breaking the generational patterns that had caused so much pain. This wasn’t an overnight transformation. It took time, patience, and baby steps. But today, for the first time in my life, I can honestly say, Mum, I love you. Dad, I love you. And I mean it with all my heart. If this story resonates with you, I want you to know it’s NEVER too late. Whether you’re 25, 45, or 65, you can heal. You can make peace. You can stop the cycle of pain for yourself and future generations. Are you ready to take the first step? And if you feel stuck and want personal guidance, I’d love to help you.
