It was encouraging to see Jane Fonda on Oprah sharing the joy and peace of her 72 years on the planet. She reported she worked on her timeline and was able to come to terms with her beliefs about her father and mother after spending a lifetime in emotional confusion.
Dad a narcissist. Mom committing suicide when Jane was 12 years old. Jane was a people pleaser in relating with her father and the men in her life...trying to win their approval. She felt responsible for many ills of her mother.
When she began to work on her life...timeline, she was able to learn how her mother had been sexually abused as a child..therefore leading to promiscuous acts and depression.
She realized they were human and not perfect and was able to forgive them...and herself for feeling she somehow was to blame and needed to be perfect..
I worked the timeline with many patients when active in private practice. It is quit affective if done with the correct therapist. I feel it is the psychological DNA of your emotional health .
So if your stuck in having negative emotions toward your parents visit this timeline and explore what was really going on. If you don't perhaps your children will have to do this work about you. It is a choice.
The end of the day; life is a learning processed. You don't hide behind blame and denial and expect to find peace. Denial is a virus that will spread to those you love the most.
I strongly suggest you watch this Oprah Show with Jane. It is very enlightening if you allow it to be.
Jesus will never leave you or abandon you.
