❤️ How’s your relationship with your parents?
By Rohene S.
Right now, our relationship is the best it has ever been. ❤️
From being ungrateful to becoming much more appreciative.
From yelling at my mom whenever things didn’t go my way to having calmer conversations without anger.
From being rude to showing genuine appreciation.
From barely communicating to having clearer and more frequent conversations.
From feeling emotionally distant to feeling much closer to each other, even while living in different cities.
Now, we understand each other so much better.
We laugh together far more often too. 😊
And whenever we are physically together, I randomly hug her simply because I can. 😃
My relationship with my mom was never like this before.
As a child, I always felt that my mom was stricter and emotionally harder to connect with compared to my dad.
As a teenager, especially during my parents’ separation when she was working tirelessly to raise three children on her own, I hurt her deeply with careless words like, “Why do you even care?”
Even as an adult, I rarely made time for her. I almost never said “thank you” or “I love you.”
So… what changed?
We both started meditating.
Simply by letting go of accumulated stress, emotional burdens, and expectations through meditation, our relationship gradually became closer over the years.
And through meditation, I realized how little I had truly understood my mom.
I had never noticed that she has the most energy in the mornings and becomes more talkative then. I never realized how quiet she becomes when she is tired, or how she prefers not to make decisions when exhausted.
As time passed, I also began noticing how many habits we actually share. For example, both of us tend to panic or become anxious first in stressful situations. We overthink. We stay within our comfort zones.
Through deeper reflection, I also realized that much of the tension between us came from my own habit of constantly criticizing and finding faults in the people closest to me. Deep down, I carried a very inferior and judgmental mind.
And that is where the beauty of meditation comes in.
As we continue meditating, we keep discovering more about ourselves and each other. And regardless of what we uncover, we can continue letting go of our negative minds and habits through meditation.
My relationship with my mommy is really, truly good now.
And for that, I am deeply grateful. ❤️😊💛
