I applaud my parents for facing these tumultuous and painful issues with me. I believe that years more would have been required for me to heal in continued isolation from them. Now the scripture is often quoted:
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart
of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
