A female Philippines age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hi everyone, I will make it short as i can. I grew up with the family who I can called DISFUNCTIONAL family.

I cant blame much my father due to his condition, he is disabled and so He also needs to rely on my mother's command. To make it short I can say that my Mother is the horror of my life and brother's and sister's life. She did TOOOOO MUCH Emotional abuse and physically abuse to all of her children that included me of course. From the age of 9 I learned how to depend on myself and to help my mother financially. But she never appreciated everything I done. Ok, that's ok now.. whatever she did is already done.. But my BIG question and longing for is HOW CAN I FORGIVE HER? after all what she's done from my youth until at my age now of 37, that she even uncluded my own children to this misery. I want to forgive her BUT HOW? Please help me. It's easy to say," yes I forgive her, but I want it from the bottom of my heart.. Thanks for your time reading this and thanks for the advice

Hi

Only will you find forgivness in YOUR own heart....we can not FIND it for you..

Maybe you just have to ACCEPT that your mother IS WHO SHE IS...warts and all! and NOTHING can change what she was or is...........acceptance of a persons failings can be a starting point.

Good luck
