Now that sounds like my mom.
If I had to hear "I did the best I could" I thought I was going to vomit.
So, being the little beeyatch that I am, I told her that "the best she could do" was pretty darn sad if not outright illegal.
Dad still maintains that everything was just fine and that I am a drama queen who just wanted to hurt mom for some reason.
In short, they created a person that didn't even realize she was human. I remember the day in therapy -years ago- when I finally "got it". I am a human being with wants and desires that are valid. I have mass and occupy space.
Well, all that being said...
As I have processed the rage, the grief, the confusion and the badness I have discovered that the capacity for forgiveness and love is unlimited. It just takes time.
I admire what you are doing, it is such a necessary step in healing.
Steady as she goes lurpsie, use your supports and keep your hope.
There is a light at the end of this tunnel.
Love to you
Maddie
