Wonderful post, Maria! I’m learning to take care of the child who wanted more (or different things) from my parents while honouring the adult who forgives them.

Thank you, Joelle! Isn't it wonderful when we reach that place where we realize we can actually take care of ourselves (ie, love ourselves), and we're ok? ❤️ My mom and I had such a complex relationship, losing her threw me for a real loop. My goal now is to restore my emotional stability. All in a day's work, eh? 😊

What a great post, Maria! I definitely tend to hold grudges. It took me a very long time to figure out that forgiveness is beneficial for me, especially when I was never going to get the answers (or an apology) that I needed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Heather! I'm so glad it resonated with you. Yes, it's so hard to let them go sometimes, but it's always so much better for us when we do! 😊
