Hatred is powerful and it can and will destroy you and others in your path. Hatred is darkness and destruction. God is forgivness and healing. If that's where you're at, take a moment and have a conversation with God, today.

Yeah, your kids are suffering more than you, more than you know. They are innocent victims of your conflict, sometimes used as tools against the other parent. Do not forget how important it is to make sure they are taken care of emotionally, as well. You are still a parent, married or divorced, and it's still your responsibility.

Kids are many times, neglected when conflict comes their way. A divorce or family situation that is living chaos. Kids experience the same grief as adults. If that's your situation right now, make sure you connect with them and help them through the process.

You can't make an apology happen by demanding it. You should never suppress your feelings. Even when you're the victim, approach the issue as a peacemaker, not the aggressor. God will help you get there.

The short answer is yes, every time. The way to healing is by YOU being part of the process. It's not the wave of aa magic wand, but more of a collaboration with God that brings healing. YOU are part of the process.

So, how is your attitude right now? If it's fighting words, those words will only destroy any opportunity to repair the relationship. Accept the fact that you are part of the conflict and that until you are willing to hear what the other side has to say, your relationship will remain broken and stuck. Do the right thing, today.

Truth, tempered with compassion give both sides a chance to come closer together in a dispute solution. Stop talking and start listening. God will give you the words of response, everytime.

How do you block communication? Body language, silence, agressive responses. Mutual understanding is never easy, but always necessary in any relationship.
