My Parents

List the people you admire and look to for advice…

After living in a different country for years, I moved back in with my parents.

To live with your parents in your teens is different than living with them in your middle ages, I reminded myself.

But I was mistaken. I soon realized that we had fallen back into our previous patterns of behavior. I found myself reverting to a childlike role, with my parents assuming their parental roles once again. It didn’t take very long for our codependent tendencies to resurface and for us to return to our familiar routines.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Clearly you can tell that the people I admire – My parents – are NOT the ones I go to for advice!

Nevertheless, I admire them. We are part of each other and yet we are uniquely different in our own ways!

I have a uniquely dysfunctional bond with my parents. But then, who doesn’t?

We three believe in one Super Power though.. One that keeps us sane yet thoroughly insane in our own standards – the Higher Power.

I feel connected to my parents in the Higher Realm. In that realm they are different. They are less insane there, less co-dependant!

That’s the version I go to when I seek advice. The Higher Self of my parents. The one that is connected with my Higher Self. Maybe I too am a little less crazy in the Higher Realm.
