Forgave his mother for the abuse from "summary" of A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer
After years of torment and suffering at the hands of his mother, I finally reached a point where I had to make a decision. I had to decide whether to continue holding onto the anger and resentment that consumed me, or to let go and forgive her for all the abuse she inflicted upon me. It was not an easy decision to make. The wounds she inflicted upon me were deep and the scars she left behind were a constant reminder of the pain I endured. But I knew that holding onto that anger was only hurting myself. It was like carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders, weighing me down and preventing me from moving forward in life. I realized that in order to truly heal and move on, I had to let go of the hatred I felt towards my mother. I had to forgive her for the physical and emotional abuse she subjected me to. It was not about excusing her actions or forgetting what she did to me, but about freeing myself from the chains of resentment that bound me to the past. Forgiving my mother was a long and difficult process. It required me to confront the pain and trauma I had experienced, and to find a way to let go of the anger that had consumed me for so long. But in the end, it was worth it. I was able to find peace and closure, and to finally move on with my life.- I was able to release myself from the grip of the past and to pave the way for a brighter future. It was a difficult journey, but one that ultimately led me to a place of healing and redemption. And for that, I am grateful.
