Come, listen to a mother work through her distortions of holding boundaries with her child. The mother shares that she feels guilty for saying, "no," to her child. This mother may resemble others who fear that holding boundaries will create separation in relationships, instead of connection.

The Truth is, boundaries are based in responsibility. Responsibility always brings connection. When boundaries appear to drive another away, what you are actually witnessing is the unwillingness of the person walking away. This mother has a responsibility to teach her child through Truthful application of boundaries. And the child has the responsibility to be honest and responsible around those set boundaries.

Addiction . . . whether you're the one addicted or you're on the other side of someone's addiction, either way it is a nightmare. It's a hell where everyone is living in fear, abandonment, chaos, disconnection, entitlement, confusion, loneliness.

And so so many other characteristics that the addicted and the loved ones of the one that's addicted go through, especially when Children are involved. There is no escape for a child. They are trapped in a dynamic of needing emotional, physical, spiritual attention and most often none of those needs are met.

Come listen to how this woman maneuvers how to forgive her mother who was addicted and how you too can offer forgiveness without being enabling.

Honor thy father and thy mother.

These are words of wisdom. These words of wisdom are patterns that bring peace and connection in a family. So what do I do? How do I honor my father and mother when their choices are destructive.

Honoring does not mean exposing myself to abuse. Honoring does not mean to do what the parent wants me to do, at the risk of my own responsibility.

Come listen, I am going to talk about what honoring does mean.

 What do you do when you find out something that your child, your teen, is doing and the thing they are doing is in violation of principles? Most parents take what their children are doing, personal; they react. Then, what the child is doing becomes about you instead of keeping the thing that your child is doing about them and their choices

to violate principles.

The reality. . . the Truth is that it is your child, your teen who is choosing, not you. Your responsibility always is to reflect Truth and reality to them.

So how do you do that? How do you teach your child your teenager about principles and about boundaries. 

Most parents either ignore what they find out or they flip out. Few parents see this is a cry for help. Your child is saying I need help and even fewer parents know how to 

help them come.

Listen to what help actually looks like by teaching your children principles.

In proverbs we read that all contention comes through pride. Pride is at the root of all contention. Pride is another word for a lack of humility. When I lack humility I do not take responsibility for myself. . . I am living in distortion. When I live in distortion, I am a contention maker. 

If I want to be a peacemaker, I need to choose humility. I do this by choosing to be honest and responsible for my thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Come and listen to how you can create peace in your home through honesty, responsibility and humility.

All people need to be cared for. They need to be validated. They need to be invited into connection. All people need to be seen and heard and treated with care.

Listen to how this child was attempting to secure those very Truthful characteristics, yet instead, because she didn’t know where to find them, she started spending time with people who would give her the counterfeits. She spent time around people who needed connection but were actually choosing disconnection. She became enslaved in behavior that left her hallow and isolated. 

All of us are looking for the same things. We are all looking for validation and connection and we don’t have a clue where to find it. We need Truth, connection, safety and trust. And where does this begin? It begins with me using my agency to choose it.

What does it take to live in Truth? The answer is it takes a person's willingness to stay in reality, use your choices and choose Truth.

Why is Truth/Reality so uncomfortable that many people run from it? The answer is, there's pain in reality. There's pain, inevitable pain inside reality from things like loss, death, hurt, disappointments, loneliness, anger, greed, rage.

And most people think that they can run from it, that they can hide from those things.

The truth is when you attempt to leave reality, you run right into the arms of distortion and now you really will have pain.

Listen to how not to be deceived.
