Have you forgiven your parents?
I'm having difficulties forgiving my parents for my upbringing. I was never abused in any physical way, and I had a roof over my head and food in my stomach, but there are mistakes I feel that were careless and I feel have impacted me to this day. Many times, they did not put the interest of us kids first. I know that everyone makes mistakes and that our parents "do the best they can" but honestly, I feel that they could have done better.
Have you forgiven your parents? If so, how?

I'm a kid.. and my parents do they best they can.. but they "roll around" in extra money and buy beer and alcohol. I feel like my parents are impacting me in a bad way right now because they drink a lot. I don't know how to stop them.. I'm only 13. I feel as if my parents do not put the interest of their children first either... its always about them! all you can do it forgive...... and plan to do better with your children.

I was emotionally abused when I was a kid. I could never do anything right, make the right choices etc... I will never forgive my mother for it b/c I've grown up with such a negative depressing view of the world and I've needed therapy for it.

I personally think there is nothing to forgive,I believe they have always tried their best to make us kids feel happy and satisfied,and I'm grateful because of that,even if hasn't really worked about some stuff...because I know that they did their best

no matter how your parents treat you even if they are physically abusive, they still love you and are trying their best sometimes people have a short fuse with anger and blow up for no reason. for example, my neighbor friend has an abusive father, I know this because Im at their house sometimes whe he hits him, and I cant take it, so I tell him to call social services, run away, but he says that he cant do it because he knows hi dad loves him, he just needs therapy
