Too many of us are not treated with respect by our loved
ones. How many of us allow our family and friends to treat us badly? How many of
us will do anything to get the approval of our father, mother, sibling, friend,
boss, coworker, etc?
My son has been seeing a counselor to deal with his issue of
wanting so much to be with his father that he will allow himself to be
mistreated. He wants so much to win his father's love and respect that he will
put up with horrible emotional abuse by his step mother. To him, it was worth
this to see his father. He is now realizing that he does not have to tolerate
this and that he should insist on being treated with respect. This is very hard
for him, but he is very close to confronting his father about this.
Most of us have issues such as this to deal with. We spend
our whole lives trying to get our Father's approval, but it never seems to come.
It
is very hard for us to realize that it never will. It is hard for us to say
'Enough! If you can't respect me, I don't want you around.'
My parents died when I was a young adult and I do not have
this issue with my parents. I only recently realized that I have this issue with
my siblings. This was like a slap in the face. Here I was working with my son on
insisting on being treated with respect, when I was not demanding respect from
my siblings. It was a very enlightening experience.
I have decided that I will never again allow anyone in my
life who will not respect me. If they do not love me enough to do that, then I
do not want them around me. I deserve to be respected and will no longer allow
myself to be mistreated in that way. This decision has been very liberating.
Who in your life is treating you dis-respectfully? Are you
still trying to
get your Father, Mother, friend to respect you? How long will you continue to
allow this treatment? Respect yourself enough to take a stand!
