How to reconcile mom and dad?translated

How to reconcile mom and dad when dad drank beer and mom is angry with him?

Vlad

Priest's answer:

Priest Victor NIKISHOV

God bless you!

The situation is really unpleasant. When loved ones quarrel, it is difficult to see it, because you cannot choose the side of right and wrong. You don't have to become a judge and choose sides. If you begin to reconcile them or express your opinion about the current situation, then perhaps you will draw the fire onto yourself, and your parents will begin to scold you without making peace with each other.

Try talking to each individual individually, listening more than giving advice. Perhaps just speaking out is what they need at the moment.

Adults make peace on their own, you don’t have to worry about it. But you can create conditions for reconciliation - a common cause, a walk, a joint dinner. Pray for them that they will come to the appropriate conclusions and not repeat the mistakes that led to the quarrel.

God help you!
