Hi Vaso, Yes in the article I do also talk about the responsibility I feel with regards to children. Of course it's a natural part of beingness to feel protective and supportive for example. And yes, it's great if a child can rely on parents for this. In terms of expectation around the parent/child relationship, what I'm really talking about is how much we each get pigeon-holed and therefore certain things are taken for granted and projections happen. For example, it became really clear to me that one son was dealing with the karma of abandonment in a previous life. So in this life, there were all kinds of expectations about what I should or shouldn't do. And a lot of anger was projected if I didn't feel to live up to those expectations: "Dad's are supposed to do this and that." When we let go of the Dad mantel, the karma dissolved with it (for the most part), so he could relate to me exactly as he finds me. So if he asks me to play football and I say I'm busy, he doesn't get angry anymore and accepts it. He finds something else to do. It's empowering for him and I don't feel weighed down by that responsibility. I'll play football (etc) as and when it feels aligned and I'm given to. Open
