Economic Situation, Children and Parents' Sins

in voilk •  yesterday

    Hello everyone? How are you? I hope you are doing well. This topic is really interesting and it turns out that after I reflected on it, this is also what happened to me. The sins of parents and their impact on children, do children receive the impact? I will answer this depends. Why does it depend?

    First, the situation. If you are born into a lower middle class family, you will get it. I want to tell you my personal experience. Not to judge, but this is a valuable lesson for me. My father and mother married without the blessing of my mother's family. My maternal grandfather did not approve of my mother and father's relationship.

    I don't know for sure how the journey went, but since I was little, I have always been ostracized by my cousins, uncles and aunts. It felt like whatever I did was always wrong. Even though I had achievements, I certainly would not be seen. The phase towards adulthood, I enjoyed campus life more. because there I felt appreciated and seen.

    came the phase when my father died. From there, I was really ostracized. Not considered. My family will be recognized when my mother and I bring enough food and share good things. It's so sad. I have to be in the 'rich' phase to be recognized.

    Lastly, when my mother died. It felt like whatever I took was always wrong. First, when my younger sibling went to college. I was judged and considered arrogant. At the same time, I had to think about the funeral costs, which no one wanted to help with my mother's funeral costs.

    At this stage I realized, the hatred and dislike of my extended family towards my father still existed. Even though I was growing up. However, I saw a number of families who experienced the same thing with improving economic conditions. What I felt, would not happen.

    What about my father's family? My father's family accepted me. I was always loved by my grandmother and aunt. When I went to college and came home late, I was welcomed. There was no name blaming and judging when I came home late. Children should not have to feel things like this.
