Since my return from Seville where I've lived a little over 2 years, I've stayed at my old schoolmate's house in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I arrived here at the beginning of August.
My parents live in Troy Michigan, but I've not gone to see them, because when I left the States they were very angry with me for leaving. Since then we've had no correspondence with each other. When I left they felt betrayed I hadn't discussed it with them. You see, I was becoming stagnant, a zombie of some sort just existing, not living, not happy at all.
In Spain I've re-discovered an aliveness, I'd lost in Michigan. Now, this is the problem; I'd like to see my parents NOW, and seek peace with them, and show them how the move has made me a happy and very productive at what I do.
I'd like to just go "HOME", ring the bell, say hello, I've missed you, but I'm afraid I'll be rejected for having followed my own heart. Please, would you advice me what to do? Every day my heart feels heavier with sorrow!
Olivia
Thanx

two years is a long time...im sure your parents have missed you as much as you've missed them...parents can't stay mad at their children for a long time...most of the time loneliness would've replaced the anger that was felt...go ahead and drop by your house...kiss and hug them...you and your parents have a lot of catching up to do...

Give them a call and feel the situation out. Most of the time, the parents really do want to hear from their children.

First of all, let me give my condolences to living in Michigan. ;0)
On a serious note, I can't imagine going 2 weeks, let alone 2 months without talking to my parents. But what's done is done, and I honestly think they would be happy to see you. you are their daughter afterall. No amount of time or distance can change that.
Luke 15:11-24
"There was a man who had two sons. 12The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.
13"Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17"When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.[b]'
22"But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.

Maybe they miss you too. You won't know until you try.
