Being Forgiving
When a marriage or a relationship ends it is a painful experience. The end of a relationship is even more complicated when children are involved. If you had a partner or spouse who has all but abandoned you and your children together, you probably have a lot of hurt and anger inside.
If this is the case you might be caught up in your emotions. They can even consume you if you are not careful. You need to take action and forgive your child’s absent parent. You won’t be doing this for the other parent or because they deserve your forgiveness. Instead, you will be taking this step for yourself and most importantly for your children.
Holding a grudge against your ex is not going to help anyone. You want your children to be good and forgiving people. Teach them to take the high ground (the moral road in life).
Having hatred and/or anger towards your ex does not pay the bills or make a happy life for your children. Your thoughts should not be drifting to your ex. Your time should be devoted to providing a loving and stable home life for your kids. This is what they need from you most. And this is precisely whey you should forgive the absent parent.
