I disagree. I believe we have reshaped what forgiveness is into a selfish thing. Forgiveness should be selfless. We don’t forgive others for ourselves.. forgiveness should mean “I know you have wronged me but we can move on past this.” If you make it about yourself then you haven’t really forgiven the person at all.

Those first two sentences are so wrong. My parents abused me mentally and physically for years. They blamed me for the death of my sister and hated me. I honestly don't know how or why they didn't kill me. This started when I was six years old, the first time I showed symptoms our tourette's. My mother thought I was fake and she thought she could beat it out of me. My father on the other hand thought it was better to starve it out of me.
I can never forgive what they did to me and why should I.
My father is dead
I haven't spoken to my mother in almost 2 years. She's dying of cancer and dementia and I could care less

Bad meme.
The first sentence is questionable. If you can’t show love, don’t parent children.
The second sentence is just pathetically stupid. As a child of unloving parents, I’ve been disowned, disinherited and even sued. You can’t look for replacement parents as a child.
As a healed adult, there’s no forgiveness. I’m not their maker. There’s no final judgement coming from me. My task is to show deep love to those around me so as to not allow the abuse to continue on for another generation.

@Princess54 First, thank you. No. As I mentioned, I was disowned. They both passed, as did my sister. I was never told about any of the three passing. I found out, in each instance, through mutual contacts, months after their deaths. So, not even invited to any of the three funerals.
I found out I was disinherited via certified mail. Apparently there was a second will. In the first I inherited the business, the estate in CT, all bank/investment accounts and all the contents of the house which was filled with antiques. In the second will, I was named specifically to receive nothing. Not contestable.

@Ferise1 I think you need to look up the definition of event.

@Ferise1 defensive much? Name calling makes you feel better? I suggest you try harder. 😂
