Forgiving a parent in a hard situation

article image placeholderUploaded by @nicolo
One physically and as far as not being around and having to chase after them pretty much majority of the rest of my life so far. And then the other parent who I actually was protecting, I guess in a sense and not realizing it but end up finding out that I guess a part of it is I end up beating myself up over the fact that for so long it had gone unnoticed, I guess

Things to do to try to set pride aside

But I guess going about ways to start doing that or things to do, I guess, in that process of forgiving them, because you don't want it to be, quote unquote, too late, especially if they are older. But you've already spent majority of your life with them as your parent

Well Forgiving is a process

She could probably been mean to me, but I would have still loved her the same if I knew what I knew. Today I'm her caregiver. She fully depends on me for her everyday living. So when I stand her up out that wheelchair and she hugs me, boy, it still brings tears to my eyes. Because had I learned to forgive her back then, I couldn't have gotten real hugs and opened up many doors emotionally for us both

So my instincts always answered that for me and plus, my mother is the one as far as I'm concerned, she gave me my life. So I would always love her because and I hate to say it, but it has unfortunately been an experience for too many as far as mothers not wanting their kids or boarding, stuff like that. It's hard because our mothers are the ones that make that decision to give us our lives

And so thank you for sharing what you shared about forgiving a parent in a hard situation, because I'm still in a work in progress when it comes to forgiving my mom. Yes, she's human, and I have compassion towards her, and I love her with everything in me. However, we can love a person from a distance and not be around them. And I feel like where my mom is concerned, I have to love her from a distance and from afar
