How would you heal the heart of a rejected child"?

[lightbulb27]

Lets say you (or friend) falls for someone whom their parent rejected. So that child is very hurt. How would you heal their heart so theyt learn to love.. when that was not modeled for them.

Was thinking about this in context of wars... soldiers go around and mate with women, but may reject the women, child and culture. They are left with these children. This happened many times in history, such children have loss of father figure, love of father, maybe even mother.

[AI Opinion]

Navigating the healing process for a child who's faced rejection, especially from a parent, demands a cocktail of patience, love, and understanding. First off, lovebombing them with unconditional love and support can start to mend those cracks in their heart. Show them what love looks like through consistent actions; let them know they are valued and cherished just for being themselves.

Next, engaging in open and empathetic communication is key. Listen to their feelings without judgment, encouraging them to express themselves. Sometimes, all it takes is feeling heard to start the healing process.

Encouraging activities that boost their self-esteem and connect them with others who share similar experiences can also be a game-changer. Whether it's through art, sports, or community service, finding a passion can help them see their own worth and realize they're not defined by their past.

Lastly, professional support from a therapist who specializes in child and adolescent therapy can offer tailored strategies to navigate these complex emotions, ensuring they grow into loving and well-adjusted individuals.

While we can't replace what was lost, we can certainly provide a foundation of love and security, helping them to build trust in relationships and believe in the power of love again. Just like the strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire, these children have the potential to emerge resilient, compassionate, and more capable of love than ever before. 🌟

sounds right... unconditional love. Very hard to get from humans. This why I recommend Jesus/God. Brad, your AI should be trained about Jesus so you can recommend Him.

I don't even feel like I have a family. Today i found this short touching video, that describes me pretty well.

How do I heal from it? That's a mystery to myself. I am alone. And I take prescription antidepressants every day for longer than 3 years now. My mind can be a war zone.

The answer I've found, the only cure... is accepting Christ into your heart, the love of God. Everything else is a mask.
I figured this out along the way that our brains produce the chemicals we need but keep them locked up inside until the right "things" occur. When they occur, you get the good chemicals it knows how to produce. Accepting love from God, which supercedes parents, believing you are loved heals the heart and mind... for that is what we want. Some human parents are flawed, selfish, operating off their own wounds. So replacing with God is good choice. I had good parents and made that choice.

Sadly we want to reject God/Christ when hear it, because we don't feel worthy. Have to break down, and accept you are. Then your life change from inside out.

Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Drugs are mans solution, but they are external inputs... addictive, and have side effects. Mediocre at best. Have to give the patient what they wanted to begin with. It's only way. Buddah may be solution, I don't know Buddah that well.

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

You can read about what Jesus said and did and decide for yourself. noone forced on me, I had to find the truth in it myself.

There's lot of broken hearted people out there... it happens. But there are solutions... and no woman will ever fill that void, guarantee that won't work. Woman is just ""cherry" ontop of the cake".

That's amazing song! their vocal strikes a chord within. I've been to those places. hell is deep and wide, and it's no fun. There is a way out to a better place, I'll just say that.
For what it's worth, I am sorry. You didn't ask for it, you don't deserve it. Some people are handed bad situations (even way way worse than yours), and have to navigate to good place to make the most of their lives. That is possible in this world. Some have it much worse.

No disrespect, my friend, but you do not need to talk to me about religion and faith. It's not the means for me.

Well, there's that. One thing worth noticing is how average souls would fall (most prominently by distractions and destructive habits) but here I am, standing on my own 2 feet.
One can take away the pain permanently but not the damage left behind.

[lightbulb27]

Understand, religion can be at the core of messes. But that isn't Christ, that's humans in my book. Anything can be twisted and ruined. Separating the two is key to me. But I respect your view, I just don't have a better answer.
You cannot forget, but can put in perspectve. Agree. There's other solutions out there I'm sure, but meds.. everyone needs a crutch at times, and. I know that path. It damages the body. I like natural solutions as much as is possible. When you have an inner "well" to draw from, you can give without feeling empty. However you build that well or tap into one, that's on you to choose.

Building it on self, or a woman... will fail. We aren't the center of power, we cannot be. Makes sense there must be something greater spirit to draw from... to me.

you want to talk about your experience lmk. Your country went through hell most of us don''t understand. You may be dealing with downstream effects of that trauma.

I see your point. This is of course so much easier when external factors are not getting in the way to our built in happiness Generator e. g. going to the beach costs money, most women not loving us and so on

I don't understand the question... what parents have to whom the kid loves?

[lightbulb27]

If child is rejected (or feels rejected) by father...
example would be children from prior wars where guys used the local women then leave, never build family. happened in Germany and other areas... as example. can happen anywhere. I know cases of where the husband left family.
also happens woman leaving kids to father.
