[quote=Anonymous]To forgive my mother I had to have compassion for her - she was emotionally stunted and meant well but went about a lot of things very wrong. Everything was connected to everything else - if she'd had more confidence she'd have had more friends, if she'd had more friends, she'd have talked parenting with them, if she'd talked parenting with them she'd have heard of other (less abusive) ways of doing things, if she'd been less abusive, her kids would have wanted to spend time with her more, etc. She did the best she could with the tools she had, and couldn't get past her denial to get out of her own way. Her pride and fear were too big. It doesn't mean I put myself in uncomfortable situations with her, but I had compassion for her only knowing how to be a passive-aggressive martyr. [/quote]
