If you need a shoulder hun, I'm here. It's...yeah, it's difficult.
Just remember. You don't have to forgive. It's okay to hurt. Just because someone is now gone does not mean that they've magically become a better person.
The only person you need to learn to forgive is yourself. Forgive yourself for feeling upset. Forgive yourself for being angry. Forgive yourself for being unable to cope. Forgive yourself of all the dark and painful things you feel towards this situation - because they are very human emotions, very real things to feel and you are well within your right to feel them. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to wish that they could have been a better person for you. It's okay to look upon the good times with longing or with anger. It's okay to feel.

And you'll be okay, hun. You don't have to be strong, or feel strong. It's okay to be weak, to want someone else to carry you. To somehow make it right. But I know that, when you're ready, you'll be able to stand again with your head held high, all the stronger for it.

This is beautiful. (((hugs))) If you ever want to talk to someone who is going through something similar with abusive parents, feel free to Note me, I'd be happy to lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on.

Beautiful but sad

Very pretty!

Forgiving is one of the last, and most important, parts of healing.

Once you manage to pull that off, you'll KNOW beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are free.

Awwww! it's lovely!
