The relationships held between parents and their children is a sacred one, and the formative pieces on which we base our core beliefs about life. The bonds with share with our parents are special, but when those bonds are betrayed, or we are injured beyond repair by the ones who claim to love us “above all else” — it can be hard to let go of the anger that nests deep down in your soul; a critical part of the healing process.

Damaging and toxic relationships between our parents and ourselves can cause deep emotional wounding that takes years of hard work and understanding to overcome. When the connection we share with one or more of our perceived caretakers is muddied by feelings of hurt and resentment, the psychological weight can cause damage to your life for years and decades to come. Healing from parental injury is hard, but necessary. If you want to let go of your anger and find happiness again, you have to start with compassion, and you have to start with understanding.

Why we’re so angry with our parents.
