Sacrificing for your child is a good thing, but it needs to be done with due consideration for balancing other things of importance. Such as the health of your marriage.
How love or unloved we feel as children deeply affect the formation of our self-esteem and self-acceptance. It shapes how we seek to love and whether we feel part of our lives or more like an outsider.
“Earn the respect and confidence of your children through your loving relationship with them. A righteous father protects his children with his time and presence in their social, educational, and spiritual activities and responsibilities.”
— Howard W. Hunter
