The Meaning of "Family"

Quote From: rizwanmassani

My parents have done everything for me.. When I was deeply in depression they pulled me back out and made me a wayy better person..! They went through hell for the four years I was in high school, yet they never got anything in return.. What can I do, as a thankful son, to make up for all of the **** i made them go through in life?
Speaking as a mom thats been put threw it with my son.  Tell them you are sorry, tell them that you love them then go forward and don't look back. My son carries a lot of guilt around and that bothers me as much as what he put me threw. His life is on a better track now and whats done is done. Make peace with yourself so you can go forward and have the life your parents want for you.

What a lovely person you are.

Just to see one who admits putting parents or family through some hell and want to show gratitude, seeking advice on how to do so, really touched my heart.   It is a credt to your parents for as right there - you show off some good upbringing.

If ever in doubt seek TRUTH. Assess what it is you want to say or do and go with it. The best resent you could ever get is showing them change. Your behaviour, how you speak them, what you do - go the extra mile. Tell them when its coming from your heart how thankful you are to have such great parents. Earn some money somewhere and instead of getting that new cd, get them a voucher for a dinner. Cook dinner? have a bath run for when they come home. Clean the house as a surprise.

Just communicate how much you love and appreciate the efforts they invested in you.

Some other parents might of given up much much sooner..

Peace to you and your family!
