Yes, adults will always have our inner child within our hearts. As long as our parents are by our side, there will always be that inner child that longs for their embrace, their affection and their words of encouragement. Adults want closer, more positive and loving relationships from their parents ... You have to work hard to achieve it, because relationships have to be cared for!
There are people who also need their mothers to be less critical and for both fathers and mothers to recognize when they have made a mistake or when they have had harmful or toxic behavior.
Adult children want their parents to be more interested in their lives and also to confront other family members, including their spouses or partners ... when necessary, but without the need to hurt the relationship, only as a form of protection.
Adult children and their parents
In reality, parents and children must be a strong relationship that must be cared for forever. Like all relationships, if a bond between parents and children is not taken care of, it deteriorates ... No matter how strong it may have been in the past.
Grandparents, parents of adult children, must provide emotional support and be less critical of their children in order to take care of the bond that binds them. When it comes to children, relationships with other family members are paramount. Grandparents should strive to get along with their spouse or partner of your son and also with the in-laws of your children.
Also, family estrangements need not be permanent. Although adult children may say they are unwilling to renew a relationship when they feel they have been damaged, statistics on feelings inside and outside of estrangement say they are generally willing to give their parents another chance. It will be up to the emotionally estranged parents and children that those opportunities are really worth it. An adult child will always want to take advantage of the time with their parents and that their children enjoy their grandparents. The time is gold!
