Embarasing your children and family ?

cutieninjya: Have you ever done anything sordid that could come back and seriously damage your family ?

Impossiblebeliever3: Yes. I think many people out there feel they have hurt their family to the point they think it cannot heal. It can. The important thing to remember is that we all make mistakes and if we all choose to be forgiving we can learn to move on no matter what.

Miss_Chrys: Yeah.. For the most part my parents are pretty aware of all the things I have done. Now I'm an adult and work in a pretty public role and within the media, I found that full disclosure was probably best. I didnt go into full details about everything, however I did want my parents, partner and family to find out from me rather than hearing it from someone else they didnt know. They understood and werent even mad.. They were glad I told them and since we've had a great relationship.

I guess it really comes down to what you did and how it would effect your family. I do know that keeping things burdened inside can be toxic eating away at you, damaging your health and state of mind.. You can always speak to a third party, someone who is nuetral who can advise you on whats the best way to handle your situation. Without really knowing what you've done though it's hard to offer advise..

Good luck though
