How to forgive my parents
It made me
at peace
 "Forgiveness is accepting the truth"
How I did it: I finally understood my parents, adults in general, can be just as messed up as the confused youth. They all have their reasons for reacting to situations the way they do, we all have a history that makes us the way we are. There's no sense in blaming people for what we don't understand, sure its easy, but not nearly as satisfying as forgiving and moving on. Accepting what is for what it is and smiling. Lessons & tips: Well, I was on acid when I realized that haha, but I don't recommend that. Resources: lol...lsd. |

How I did it: My father passed away and I wasn't really close to my mother at the time. I had to let go all of that frustration and anger and learn to let them in. After 3 and a half years of holding a grude against my father when he passed away I felt soooooo guilty all I could do is grow closer to my family thats left. Read how I did it…

It’s so sad that they don’t understand my depression due to trauma when I was a little…I know it’s impossible to make them understand. I know I have to overcome by myself because I’m already an adult.

... forgiving does not mean I have to like them. I will do this for me. I want to find my freedom and let go of the anger and the negativity I have towards them. I hope I can do this soon…

Today I had a good conversation with my dad, for once. No fighting, no bitterness, just us…talking. I’ve realized that in order for us to have any type of relationship, I have to let go of the past. Today made me feel as if he’s finally letting go, too. I hope that we are finally taking the right steps to fix our broken relationship.

Thank you for having me on this day of *years ago.
Thank you for raising me.
You both did worked so hard for my big brother while he’s been a serious sick since he was born to teenager. He is alive because you both did care him so much.
But I still cannot forget huge lonliness when I was little.
Anyway thank you & happy birthday to me.

I’m going to drop this from my list because I don’t see how its achievable. I either don’t understand, or agree, with the notion of forgiveness. I’ve come to the conclusion that my parents are who they are. Do I “forgive” them for this fact? Does forgiveness even have anything to do with it?
Alright. My new goal is: accept my parents (and everyone else). Learn what forgiveness is and means.
