Allow Yourself To Forgive Your Mother And See What Happens
When I stopped blaming my mother, I began to succeed in life.
I was 11 years old when my mother told me I was a mistake; I remember the pain as if it was yesterday. In truth, it has been almost forty years since those harsh words began their haunting journey.
As an adult, I hated my life, and I hated myself. When I turned forty years old, I decided enough was enough with the inner conflict; it was time to purge.
I never anticipated the challenges ahead, I knew it would be not easy, after all, I had had this, and many more of these thoughts, whipping about in my head pretty much all of my life. I began to read self-help books, lots of them.
I began with Louise Hay’s book, “You Can Heal Your Life”, it was so overwhelming when she spoke of forgiving…. everyone. For starters, I didn’t really understand what forgiveness really meant.
Why didn’t my mother love me like she was supposed to?
I needed to confront her. I needed to scream and shout and be the aggressive person I was bred to be.
I needed to learn to forgive.
There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
