The Space Between Rupture and Repair

We all get it wrong with our kids sometimes. This week, Laura explores what happens in the moments right after — the pull toward harsh self-accounting or quick avoidance, and a third way that leads somewhere better. Drawing on the wisdom of the book , The Context of Holiness by Fr. Marc Foley, OCD (see link below) which examines the life of St. Thérèse, and drawing on rupture/repair research, she shares a personal story about a sharp moment with her son. Why the mercy we extend to ourselves in that in-between space is what makes real repair with our children possible. Because before we can return to them, we first have to return to ourselves.
