My family is awkward
How do I ask for forgiveness from my parents?
I am not close with my parents. I just have a casual relationship with them, that's it. We live under the same roof yet we don't talk unless it's necessary.
There are so many reasons behind our awkward relationship. We are all equally at fault. And my parents know that very clearly.
Problem is, their mistakes don't get highlighted as much as my shortcomings.
It just ends in one line. "Parents know the best for their child and all they do is good for their children."
I figured that I will apologise first and then slowly I will make them realize their mistakes and how we can overcome them together. However, I tried so many times and I wasn't able to form a single sentence. Whenever I look at my mother and try to apologise, I get nervous.
It's not that I am afraid of her. It's just that I am afraid that she won't listen to my words.
This is what happens everytime I try to apologise.
As for my mother the difficulty level is 3 stars.
And for my father I would say it's 7 stars.
Please give me some advice.
