Family Problems & Impact On My Children

When I am going through family problems, I will ensure that my children are not affected badly.

I will ensure that:

I will take a step back from the problem,

Do the best I can to re-center and re-align,

Speak to them in a loving and supportive way,

If necessary, I will show them my weak and vulnerable side, and explain that I am having a problem/not feeling well,

Be gentle on myself and gentle with them aswell.

I will take the time out to rest with them,

I will stop and listen to what they actually trying to tell me,

I will smile at them more, and remind myself what it is like to laugh.

I draw the line when my children are being affected by my in-law problems.

They deserve to live in a loving and supporting home, and if my lifestyle does not allow that for them, I will have to step away from my in laws and re-focus on my children again.
