About forgiveness and wounds

About forgiveness.

I was severely neglected by my parents. It means, go for MONTHS without a bath or a shower among other things, like being locked in our rooms for days.

I am Christian and well aware about my obligation for honoring them and forgive them.

You know what, it has taken YEARS of my life, and I have not been able to completely forgive or heal.

I want to forgive, Now I see my mother as a person with a great need and pain too. I almost everyday try to tell her I forgive her. ( In my mind).

However, it has been hard. I am 37 years old, single and lonely, having relationship problems.

I am doing everything I can to get better, go to Church, pray, people pray for me...

There are not recipes...Just trust the Lord and Believe in His compassion, becuase we with our human resources are hopeless to overcome some situations...


Sometimes I think it is Ironic, I have to forgive to be able to heal and my wounds are so deep that do not let me forgive...

Viciuous circle I hope I can completely overcome some day.. Tweet
