Forgiveness guides care for aging parents despite past hurt
A reader asks if they must care for parents who harmed them in childhood. Jim Daly urges forgiveness and respect, noting you can honor them without endorsing all their actions, and choosing peace within a realistic care framework to avoid future regret. He then addresses marital conflict, proposing a 20 minute weekly experiment to improve communication and suggesting counseling and Focus on the Family resources.
