The important thing is to understand the mistake and apologize. Many times, in fact, we tend to close in on ourselves, fearing not to live up to the expectations that our parents have for us, when a few sincere words would be enough to fix everything and feel even closer. If you know you were wrong with your parents, here are some phrases with which you can ask them for forgiveness!
Sorry for how many times I disappoint you, if they are not what you want, if you expected things that I have not yet achieved, if you expected things from me that I have not yet been able to give you, if I am often wrong and maybe I do not have the courage to apologize. Sorry if I scream, I raise my voice ... but everything I can't say, I express it to you now.
