I was merely relating my own personal experience. I didn't write that it is the same for everyone (or you), so I'm not sure why you have to "disagree" with me.
A few years ago, when my mum was finally conscious after undergoing brain surgery to plug up her aneurysm with platinum thread, she begged for my forgiveness and said she wished she could have done things differently. I forgave her and she has since been a wonderful mother. I'm lucky (she's lucky too) to be given a second chance and I'm not going to turn my back on it. My father still cannot admit that he was wrong, but his childhood was worse than mine, so I forgive him too.
I'm sorry you are unable to forgive yours; and I'm not telling you that you have to.
I wasn't disagreeing with you personally, I was disagreeing with that advice, as I had said, I had heard it before more than once. It had been suggested to me before, more than once. For me, as I said in my post (in MY case), I disagree with that, and it doesn't make sense. How is someone who is doing a child criminal harm "doing their best"?? That's all.
Not directed towards you at all, I realize you weren't suggesting it to me or anyone as advice, I'm just saying that people HAVE suggested it to me before and it irks me because I don't understand how someone, who knows my situation, could possibly believe that to be true (in MY case). It baffles me that it was even suggested to me.
I simply read your post, and wanted to comment on that part of it and maybe discuss it...but whatever.
Did you have a carefree childhood?
