[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When will you forgive your parents? When your own kids take out their laundry list of complaints about YOU that you never thought would exist? Then it will be too late.[/quote]

Why should I forgive them when they’re still doing the stuff I’m supposed to forgive them for? They haven’t changed. They’re not going to. I don’t need to forgive them when they’re still purposefully hurting me and my siblings w their verbal abuse and critical remarks.

I’m sure my kids will have complaints about me too. No one is perfect. If/when my kids lodge their own complaints about my parenting, I will listen to them, sincerely apologize for my mistakes, and try to rebuild a relationship learning from my mistakes. I can accept that criticism though im sure it’ll be hard to hear.

But I don’t verbally abuse my kids like my parents did and I never will. It’s incredibly damaging. I still remember being called a b*^%# when I was about 8 and how horrible I felt. I still remember being told I wasn’t smart when I got a C in chemistry in high school. I still remember being called a hussy for wearing nail polish. And I’ve endured tons more of negative and hurtful comments over the years and still in the present day. I have learned to block it out and not react to it but I’ll never forgive it. They have never acknowledged the hurt and have never apologized so why should I forgive them? They’re not nice people.[/quote]
