You Gotta Keep That In Check -

Many People Suffer All Their Lives From This Oppressive Feeling Of Guilt, The Sense Of Not Having Lived Up To Their Parents' Expectations. This Feeling Is Stronger Than Any Intellectual Insight They Might Have, That It Is Not A Child's Task Or Duty To Satisfy His Parents Needs. No Argument Can Overcome These Guilt Feelings, For They Have Their Beginnings In Life's Earliest Periods, And From That They Derive Their Intensity And Obduracy.

The Free Expression Of Resentment Against One's Parents Represents A Great Opportunity. It Provides Access To One's True Self, Reactivates Numbed Feelings, Opens The Way For Mourning And - With Luck - Reconciliation.

Genuine Forgiveness Does Not Deny Anger But Faces It Head-on.

For The Human Soul Is Virtually Indestructible, And Its Ability To Rise From The Ashes Remains As Long As The Body Draws Breath.

The Abused Children Are Alone With Their Suffering, Not Only Within The Family, But Also Within Themselves. They Cannot Crate A Place In Their Own Soul Where They Could Cry Their Beart Out.
