Broken Relationship

hello Maria! broken relationships could be likened to a shattered mirror. You will be able to collect and reconnect the pieces, but the remains of the glued ends will always be there. However, for all its worth, picking up the pieces again is truly worth the effort since the relationship involved is that of your immediate family. We might be able to find new friends and lovers, but not parents and siblings. Sometimes, a person reacts to a situation without really thinking of the consequences. He reacted to such because of strong emotions involved and it would be better if you would let time heal the wounds. It is indeed sad when a family is rip apart by lies and misplaced trust. The truth will set him free, in time, he will learn the truth and will realize his mistake and mend the rift himself. However, if he will be so proud so as not to bow down to your parents and you even after the longest time, then maybe you could initiate the move. If its worth it, go for it.

Just give him time, at least he is capable of showing what he really feels rather than pretending to be ok where in fact, he is wounded inside- that would cause him more damage. I've had the same issue with my father, but I just learned to accept everything and see it in a positive way. Well of course,the case might be different with yours. It might be a "cliche" already, but most of the people here are right, Time heals all wounds.

Its going to be a long process. I wouldsay a lot of things needs to be done, patience increased, more talks required. Most of all, both should be willing of course to make thngs work.

A broken relationship can tear us apart in so many different directions. They can take us deeper into depression or help us break away to become a stronger person. Just moving forward can be difficult.

Try as much as possible to talk to him convincing him that you are family and should not rely on lies bout rather on the truth. desmond

I also think time will heal things. Also what would be good is to reach out to him even though you know he is wrong and you are right. I of course have no idea what happened but I guess this is a very big issue that happened to break up a family in this way, but after some time it might not feel so big. A man should never have to choose between his wife and his family.

I would say you just have to give him time. Let him know that you are there but do not keep approaching on a regular basis. Send a card or a letter every now and again. Do not expect something in return and maybe one day he will return something. It is hard to say what will work as I do not know the whole situation. Lies are a hard thing to work with. Try not to let it bother you all the time, just take a little time out of your week and think of other possible solutions.

Your brother should know what is important in family. Forgiveness must be learned. Although your parents had done something wrong on the past, what is bygone is bygone, let it goes. I would definitely forgive them, because my parents raise me, and I have nothing to pay it back now. I just hope that I can treat them right that is all.

They say time heals all wounds. Why not give yourself and your family some space and time. Let each one of you keep your peace and stay away from one another for some period of time. Let time heals wounds. Let time forget the past. When everything has been forgotten, then time will make way for all of you to be in talking relationship for a meantime and then forgiveness will easily and gradually come. Then all will be forgotten and start a new beginning for all of you.It's seems hard but all we have in this world is nothing but time!
