I have to forgive my parents someday

I don't know how. This trip has brought up deep trauma. If I don't forgive my parents I will bear this bitterness forever.

ETA: Whenever I think of it though something inside screams, "you can't let them get away with it!!"

That inner child is demanding closure that will never happen. I need to let it go.

Its hard. I've forgiven my mom but there are still times I get emotional when memories come up. Trauma is a pain in the ass because it never goes away no matter how much healing work you do, but you get to a place where you find peace and its easier to handle when you're triggered. Do what works best for you, you deserve peace 💜
