I like your comment little mermaid10. I do still love my mom and I know somewhere down the line she loves me as well, and I do plam on forgiving her for myself. It just pains me that she’s hurting my little brother. It may be the only thing she knows, I understand, but she a had a choice. I sympathize with her suffering, but still, it’s no excuse. Your mom praised you about your job, but I’m doubtful that my mom eould do such a thing. She would think that I am hurtng and hating her, which I’m only trying to better myself. And considering how she’s not into therapy, she may never do change. For her to say to herself that she did abuse me, and not blame it in stress and such, may just never happen.
