My mother burned me with hot water when I around 4 and am 28 now. I`ve never gotten over it and everytime I talked with her about it, she would lie about it that am the one that pulled the cattle.
Forgiveness is the the way to spiritual freedom, but easier said than done sometimes! Especially when it's a trust issue with someone that was supposed to keep you safe when you were a child. Yes, parents make mistakes, but I can definitely understand why you would be so resentful since she is not owning up to it. I am going through something similar. I try to keep in mind that my mom was and is doing the best she could and is capable of, but it's hard. She's probably denying the truth as a way of coping with what happened. Inside, I'm sure she feels a lot of guilt and pain about it.
Accidents happen. Parents are human beings and make mistakes, just like you and I. They are not perfect. One day, when you are a parent (unless you alreay are), you will make mistakes as well. A sign of maturity is the ability to forgive and let go what is not important. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of injuring someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Was the hot water on the back of a herd of cows? Lesson: don't pull cattle. Moo.
