AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I have too much pressure from my in-laws to attend social functions and attend to other family responsibilities, the kids suffer as I have to leave them attend these things please advice what to do?

One line advice is do not succumb to social pressures. It is not only about the harm these things do to the child but also to oneself. It is necessary to develop one’s individuality fully by making one’s choices.

Initially the parents and friends may try to pull but later they will respect you for the integrity displayed and standing by your choices.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

In life, when you come to a junction where you are aware and conscious of your inner self, conscious of the conflicts that happen between mind and vital, conscious of your psychic [at least a bit] and offer everything at HER feet [mostly] but feel conflicted between the outer system we are in and the inner call.. 👧🏼🏛️😟🙏🏻❤️‍🩹🌼[…]

Yes the times of transition are always tough and, as the saying goes, when the going gets tough then the tough get going. Even otherwise being 15 is itself challenging enough. One has to be supportive of these children and ….
