Confront it of Let it go? (Part 2)

You had to know after I typed all of that blog yesterday that something was bound to happen which required me to answer my question...Confront it or Let it Go? Well....thankfully it didn't happen to me but someone I know. This friend of mine has had some horrible things happen with his parents......They are constantly discouraging him, and they are just not very supportive of anything he chooses to do. As a matter of fact I've rarely heard anything positive from this person about his parents.... Well yesterday he was telling me about how he confronted them about how they treat him.....This person handles conflict better than anyone I know.....Me...I get loud and don't even know it.....I remember one time someone at NGC told me I was yelling at them and I had no idea.....My family is loud by nature.....This Friend though has the patience of Job.....There is no doubt in my mind he was calm and really prayed about how to handle the conflict....The parents acted like a bunch of "ya hoos". They pulled the old...Honor they father and mother bit that every parent pulls in an uncomfortable situation rather than truly listen....I can hear the uprising out there.....I'm not saying not to honor your parents....but when they are not doing right...Isn't it more honoring and loving to tell them rather than leave them that way??? I'm not saying a little kid should be telling there parents how to act....but when parents have hurt you as a grown up shouldn't you say something out of love for them and the relationship. As a result of the conversation...my friend said nothing positive happened....at that moment...maybe it will later...I know that God's timetable is NOT ours...I can not help but think if the parents truly listened to him that they would take his concerns to heart..Unfortunately this is not the first time they have had the conversation...After all that blogging yesterday and then having a real life situation to practice with.....I am even more confused today about when to confront and when not to..........I really thought my friend handled it well....Seeing how it turned out makes me want to never open my mouth again to anybody about anything.......I know....I know....One can only hope! :0) Have a great evening and pray for some icy weather tomorrow!!!!!!!!
