Even if you think the answer might be a yes, I urge you to count on the fact that your child has a root of unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, hidden hatred, and even vengeance toward you. Your child loves you (God created him or her to love you and need you), but because of the injury, he or she also hates you. You’ll get nowhere until you face the wound and deal with it together. And a wonderful spiritual breakthrough is waiting for you when you do.
