Facing a crisis with a child is an issue parents hope will never occur, yet children endure accidents and health problems that are unavoidable. Some experience emotional problems because of strife in the home that indicates a fractured relationship between the parents or a child.
A crisis may stem from current issues or be connected to the past but kept secret and now expressed in behavioral problems. Physical or sexual abuse, either currently taking place or from the past, may create undeniable grief for a child or the entire family.
A crisis can be motivation for healing the wounds from the past by initiating efforts to repair broken relationships. How can this be possible when so much damage has been inflicted? It’s amazing the extent loyalty and attachment play in the healing process. Loyalty and attachment are attributes God built into human nature and can be the main components for repairing relationships. Press on toward what is possible.
