Family Values
Family Values
When we are little children, we are taught that family is the most important thing in life. They are supposed to be the ones who will protect you, guide you, and help you grow into something beautiful.
Family is not supposed to put you in harms way. They are not to jeopardize your childhood, make you be the adult. They are not supposed to call you a liar when you tell them about the sexual abuse that had been going on. The definitely do not believe you when you tell them that four men have repeatedly molested you once a week for years only to be called a slut and that I deserved it. Family is not suppose to call you home from school so that they can go to the bar earlier. Family is not supposed to take advantage of their children.
However, when you get older, you realize that you have learned not to do when you have your own family. I have learned that my children deserve the best in life. Unconditional love, opportunities that I was not given, and just the chance to explore life and help then figure out the path to take. All in all, just being supportive.
I know that not all families are inclined to be open-minded, but before you cut your losses, fight for them. Family members can be the biggest bullies. Sit, and have a calm dialogue with them. If that does not work, maybe a mediator buffer will help you all come together. I no longer have a relationship with any of my family. Sometimes, circumstances cannot be fixed, but most of the time they can be. However, I now have a great family, husband, two smart, beautiful children, a roof over our heads, food on the table and unconditional love.
You may not have the family that you would lime, but you can help change that. There are many ways, the first step is to fight for them.
You monsters, are my extended family. <3 <3
