The new life
The bridge to a new life when a parent
"Maintain your duties. Provide for your children." [1]
"If you are in a relationship and you have children, do not make any sudden moves in your life." [1]
"Do not make any sudden decisions about your primary relationships if you are married with children, for in most cases it will be premature." [1]
"The most difficult thing in the early stages is people’s obligation to others, to their friends, their family. The only exception to this obligation is the raising of your children, which you must do until they reach adulthood. But to all others, your relationship is now put into doubt. There are circumstances where you will have to care for an elderly or infirm parent, and that is appropriate. But beyond this, you are building your allegiance to God, and that will challenge your allegiance to others and their hold upon you." [1]
