When we get older we have to make such conscious efforts not to fall into their same traps. I love my parents, but I don't want to parent like them and I am already working hard to address residual issues. {hug} You've been through a lot.NML/Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649537721588885703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042610.post-1130970088878367322005-11-02T16:21:00.000-06:002005-11-02T16:21:00.000-06:00A heartfelt post, insightful and honest.

Sometimes even those who should be grown-up and responsible refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and what happens as a result. I'm glad that you are able to forgive now, and hopefully let go of some of the anger and pain. You'll be that much stronger and wonderful for your own daughter!Caterpillarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337099007066020997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042610.post-1130947667280079072005-11-02T10:07:00.000-06:002005-11-02T10:07:00.000-06:00That was a horrible thing for your father to tell ...That was a horrible thing for your father to tell you...it's your fault.

I went through a lot of similar pain with my father - some of which I'm only now coming to grips with - but I haven't yet been able to share it with anyone. Thanks for inspiring me to do so - and for reminding me of the importance of forgiveness.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224897497456150769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042610.post-1130945540251318442005-11-02T09:32:00.000-06:002005-11-02T09:32:00.000-06:00how could he let you feel that this was all your f...how could he let you feel that this was all your fault?? forgiving is often easy...but its the forgetting that just as tough.. never happens.. best of luck dealing with these memories..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15042610.post-1130944078222747572005-11-02T09:07:00.000-06:002005-11-02T09:07:00.000-06:00Yes it does help to write about it, I guess that's...Yes it does help to write about it, I guess that's why I blog. Sometimes when you put things in type, it makes you have to deal with them and it's easier to let them go.
