[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759871, member: 23706"] I think making amends to a parent, as a parent, has to do more with changing your behavior toward them than words of regret. Of course you can verbally apologize or write a letter. Many of us have heard apologies a lot and our kids many times only to have it all fall apart the next day. To me, and I am active in Nar Anon, actions speak louder than words. Don't tell me, show me I can trust you. I will be so grateful and filled with love. I have already forgiven my daughter although she.is still in a bad place and not nice to us. How I pray that would change. Trust would be a bigger issue if she came back humbly. Forgiveness....that already happened. Most parents are eager to forgive and want to trust. All you need to do is show them they can, that you are healing now. Congrats to you as you see a better way to live 🌹 Love and prayers. [/QUOTE]
