When a kid makes bad mistakes, should parents let them know they are still loved and can be forgiven?

Question

Even if parents are very disappointed, should they let their kid know everything can be fixed in case of sincere regret? If the kid got a harsh punishment or consequences, should parents show they are suffering too? In such cases, I think most parents are unforgiving, say the suffering is deserved and they don't feel sorry for the kid and make they feel love and trust are damaged forever . That's what happened to me when I was 15 and I could never get over. Today I'm 24, graduated, made my parents proud but wrote them off. I've just have my 1st baby and don't want the same to happen between us.

Answer 1

to me it would be what kind of bad thing they did. short of murder,them raping someone,brutally beating someone to where they needed plastic surgery to fix ,these would be things  that would be hard to deal with.  anything else  after they went Thur counseling  and had sincere regrets I would be able  to forgive them and I would always love them but would let them know what they did was very hurtful to me and the family .I would never turn my back on my child,

Answer 2

I think it depends on what you did. All parents have love for their child, no matter what they did, but if the action goes against all morals and values of the parents, yes, I think they have the right to be damaged and sad.

A murderer is still a daughter or a son, in which case the mother will love them, but might never forgive them for what they've done.

Being a child does not give you an exclusive right to be forgiven by your parents regardless of what you did, although parents might have an easier life if they don't live with hatred in their hearts, but that goes for everyone.
