People who succeed in life do not go around settling scores. They do not even keep score. They “run up the score” by doing good to others, even when the others do not deserve it. They give them better than they are given. And as a result, they often bring the other person up to their level instead of being brought down to the level of the other. They are a redemptive force… They change things for the better.

Emotional abuse is subtle at first. It is just as damaging and hurtful as physical abuse.
How to have a strong and loving relationship.
Completing means making up for one’s immaturity as a person. It is an attempt to use another person to balance an imbalance in one’s character, and it never works. Each person is responsible for developing these character imbalances on one’s own and then bringing a whole, balanced self into the relationship.
As an adult, loving and honoring your parents does not equal obeying. God placed you with your parents for a season of time to help you grow into a mature adult. At some point this season ends, and your relationship with your mom and dad changes from child-to-parent to adult-to-adult. The roles change from dependency and authority to mutuality. While you are to respect and care for your parents, you are no longer under their protection and tutelage. Children are to obey parents, while adult children are to love and honor them. Therefore, sometimes you will need to confront parents, disobeying their desire for you to agree with them or go along with a bad situation.
