Acceptance of family.

======================

I was talking to a good friend of mine and she was

telling me about her sister getting engaged. She

was happy, of course, however, she indicated how

she felt her sister had "changed."

"How has she changed?" I asked her. 

"Well, she doesn't take care of herself anymore, and 

I feel like she is mistaking friendship and acceptance

of this guy for love. On top of this, it doesn't help

that my parents aren't accepting of this guy and my parents

and my sister don't have the best history together."

My friend was in a tough position. In one place, she didn't

want her older sister to make a mistake. In the second place,

she wanted to help fix her sister and parents' relationship.

It was an Inner Peace and Blessings moment. 

I told her, "You know when we were younger and we were 

learning to ride a bike for a very first time, our parents 

wantedto keep us safe so they would hold onto the bike. 

They wanted to protect us, but in order for us to learn 

how to ride a bike, they had to eventually let go knowing we 

would fall and may get hurt. If they didn't let go of that bike, 

we would have never learned from our mistakes."

As a sister or brother to another, our role is to support our 

siblings in any way possible. Yes, they may make mistakes. 

Yes, we can caution them, but in the end they have the free-will 

to make their own choices.

We have to just be there to support them and help pick them up when they fall.

As well, our parents may not have good relationships with 

one of the other siblings. We can't control their relationship. 

We can't control their actions, behavior, or reactions.

What we have control of is our own actions, behavior, 

and reactions. As much as we want to help fix other people's problems, 

some times those problems are there so those people

involved can learn from it. 

So just like my friend, we have to learn that we need to 

let others grow with their problems, but be there in moments they 

need us to pick them up without judgement.
