How do you do something very important?

God says to honor our parents but how can I when my mother broke something I believe is important?

  • I recently confronted my mom about her behavior she had been acting distant and not really bothering with the family. When I confronted her she confessed to me she had an affair with another married man and had sex with him numerous times. Marriage is something I have always believed to be important I believe its something special blessed by God. The worst part is most people knew about it expect me and dad. She hasn't told him and iv begged her not to because it would destroy him. Her and the man had ended the affair before she told me and shes trying to make the marriage to my dad work. She told the reason she cheated was because she got bored with her marriage and they had not had sex in a long time but now she wants my dad. God says to honor our parents and forgiveness is key but it seems so hard.

  • Answer:

    Your mother is human and fallible. Everyone makes mistakes. It sounds like she's sorry, and you should forgive her. You're not perfect, are you? Did you ever disappoint your parents? They forgave you... extend them the same courtesy. Your bible tells you not to judge. Another religion says that the gates to heaven are at your Mother's feet. .

You can honor your parents in spite of their mistakes. We all make mistakes. Of course what she did was serious and could have serious life changing consequences. You should respect what your mother wants to do in regards to making it right. Sometimes I think we put parents on a pedestal and forget they are people too. It doesn't mean you accept what she has done or that you can't express your feelings about it, but you should be careful and still let her know that she is loved and wanted.

Marriage isn't a thing blessed by god, but allowed by the government. And she broke the affair and tries to make the current marriage work. Since you are a woman see this from her perspective, as your body will crave the feel of a man at times, and your dad just wasn't delivering. You don't have to honor her but understand her reason. No, it wasn't satanic influence, it was primal needs that you will also experience later in life.

Your mom should not be discussing her sex life with her children. What your parents do in the bed room are private, don't ask her about it until your grown and out of the house. Children view things different than adults, and the inclination is to be judgmental, with no life experience to guide it.

she still your mother but if she do anything wrong you should confront her and tell her what is happening now you should help her start again to re-build her life and being a good person if she did it again you should confront your father to tell him the truth

Remember that MAN said that God said we should honor our parents... I'm not saying God doesn't exist, but MAN imagines God in a way that fits him or her.
