I think our parents' lives provide the greatest tool we have for making our
own lives better.
You have to forgive them, and then detach yourself from whatever problems,
hang-ups, insecurites they have transferred onto you (it was unavoidable,
and not really their fault). You will then have the ability to look at these
problems from a perspective that your parents could never enjoy. Yes, their
problems become your problems, but understanding that and accepting it is
the first step toward liberating yourself from them.
For example, I used to blame my mother for overfeeding me as a child,
causing me to become chubby. I was picked on in school and developed eating
disorders as a teenager. All the while, I blamed her. But then I began to
realize (with help of kundalini) that the bitterness I had developed was
only inflaming the problem. I saw that I had everything I needed, not only
to lose weight, but to have a healthy relationship with my mother. It was in
my hands all the time. But forgiving her was the first step.
Fiona, I hope you can forgive your mother. I hope you ARE forgiving her.
Good luck,
Amy
