It can be confusing, frustrating, and sad when an adult makes a decision that hurts you. A teacher who is burned-out at his job and his wife has recently left him, can give you a low grade and not offer support to improve that grade. A coach who is disgusted with losing several games in a row and is up all hours of the night with a baby, can demand you stay in the game even after you report an injury. A parent who wasn't raised right, can struggle to do right by you.
Consider that you have options:
forgive.....forget.....work harder.....ask for help.....walk away......make a plan.....ignore bad behavior.....offer help.....keep your distance......work around it.....consider their hurt.....avoid feeling sorry for yourself.....love them.....pray......avoid revenge......find sympathy.....focus on something else......acknowledge what is right.....keep it proportionate.....don't repeat their wrong behavior.....prove them wrong.....be grateful for what is good.When adults fail you, find your success by doing what is right. You can do it!
Love,
Mom
