There can be a blind loyalty to a parent despite what he or she did or didn’t do for the child. Children don’t want to be abandoned even if the “child within” is 40 years old. There can be buried deep within many adults a place of fierce defense of one’s childhood. For one to recognize what happened and really analyze and understand it, well, it can be too much for a fragile ego. So as we pray for the grace to open the heart to the matter, to the feelings, to the hurt, and when we do we will be free or those ties which bind.

Believe me; I’ve seen the transformation in a broken spirit. I’ve seen the anger melt away. I’ve seen hope return and families be healed. We all need to be healed in this broken world. Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.
