Something I have just been wanting to write about, we all have things that bother us, or pet peeves. And I am not one to complain about things that bother me but sometimes when something builds up, it is therapeutic for me to write about things I'm going through or something I need to talk about. Words. there are lots of different ways people can be hurt. but I believe with everything I know that words can be terrible weapons. First let me say that there is a difference between choosing to be offended and being emotionally scarred from emotional abuse. My main focus is children. Children are so very easily influenced. and they depend so heavily especially on their parents of what they think of themselves. And that is why It is so important that parents build their kids up and not tear them down. Once I heard a mother always saying how much she didn't trust her sister, and how much her sister bothered her, and was constantly tearing her down. and repeatedly throughout her little girls life, she always said you remind me of my sister. you are just like her. What is that child supposed to think? maybe not much after one or two times. But after years and years of being told that over and over, it started to stick with her. But not only that she always used adjectives like lazy, untrustworthy dishonest, pain, and the reason for these words was if she forgot to dry all the dishes or something. I know that parents aren't perfect, and that everyone gets angry. but we all need to be so careful what we say to anyone especially our kids. And not let our anger or poor judgement speak for us. They're confidence and how they view themselves depends on it. Its always better to be nice :)
