I totally understand what you are saying. We all have speed bumps in our relationships. Even when we get into anger, we say things we should not, because it hurts and hard to take back. With that said, my oldest son has had a couple times that he left his family for another “woman”. His wife took him back the first time. They worked hard. Then in 2016 he left again. His wife, after about 6 months, asked him to come to their house to talk. They have one 21 yr old and a 16 yr old. Well, they started working with a therapist. They are back together again and I see them on a regular basis and they are really healing, so far. So if we are honest with each other can we heal or is the underline issue always there. I know about our relationship with things. I meditate everyday, if they ask, we will share our feelings, otherwise we let go, I love all parts of our family. We have never been judgmental with our kids. Have tried to let them know we love them and want them to work out their issues, not matter what. So how do we know when to let go and keep working.
