My abusive parents want to be forgiven. please help!

Please excuse me, this is very difficult to type. I did nothing wrong in life to them except for aparently acting younger than my friends, doing much more childish things to heal from that of written below. All is true and not a joke.
Please comment.

When I was 17 through age 20 I was rejtted and was given limited water from a hose which i almost always got sick, no bathroom to where i had to go in my neibors woods, was constantly watched in my basement by cameras (which i later learned was fake and was for psychological warfare,) was denied church and threatened about never to return. and my childhood items burned. I got a stuffed animal and protected it with my life and they took that too. No freinds, listening in, and to top it off they would inspect search and strangle at my 19 year brother until I fought them off.

I reside with my brother now, and theyre BEGGING FOR FORGIVENESS and want to keep contact. My heart tells me there my parents my brain tells me im a fool WHAT DO I DO??????

    Tell those two psychopaths you'll report them to the police if they don't leave you alone then take out a restraining order on them both. Forgiveness doesn't have to mean reconciliation.

    IF you are serious, I would never forgive them. There are no excuses for treating anyone like that. It doesn't matter that they are your parents. That doesn't grant them immunity from their behavior. How about the fact that you are their kid?? That didn't seem to bother them when they did all that to you.

      Also, you should send them the bill for any treatment that you seek for the damage they have done.

    Press charges. Parents don't treat their children that way. No one should treat children that way, or adults for that matter.

    Do not forgive them. Do not go back to them. Don't even contact them. They want you back so they can continue abusing you.

      This.

      The only thing they're sorry about is the fact that you're not there for them to torture anymore. It's incredibly easy to cry and say sorry when you want you once had back again. It's tempting to forgive people when you really want them to love you, but that will never happen. You can't forgive someone who isn't sorry. You need to stay away. You'll love yourself for being strong enough.

  • Not forgiving them and never seeing or talking to them is the nicest thing you should even do for them. If it were me I would have killed them. Your parents are the worst kind of people they are. I hope you can have a better life after this.

    That sounds really terrible, and I'm sorry that that happened to you. :/ I wouldn't recommend contacting them. I would stay away and make sure they have no contact at all. Just to be safe, get a restraining order too.

Again thank you for your consideration and support

    Know what? no. Fuck them. They ruined a part of your life. Send an email saying simply: No. I hate you guys.
    They'll see what they have done soon enough.

    Forgiveness is crucial to healing. Contact, however, may not be necessary.

    It's very hard to forgive when someone is cruel to you. If was you I'd feel overwhelmed to forgive them but I would contact them throw text messages or call them but only talk to them for 2-3 minutes a day. Not ever see them face to face. Your parents did sick and disturbing things to you. They love you but they don't how to be parents. Keep your distance if you decide to only contact thoroughly something's that not face to face.

    Im sorry to hear stories like this. Your parents were monsters and don't deserve to have a pet rock let alone children.
    If forgiving them will make you feel better, you can talk to them on the phone and say "I forgive you for making my life a living hell. But I still don't want anything to do with you. Now leave me alone", and never speak to them again. You can forgive someone but that doesn't mean allowing yourself to get abused again. They dont deserve to be given a second chance to hurt you.

    On the other hand if telling them to rot in hell will make you feel better go ahead. Its about what you need to do to make yourself happy.

    You seriously need to report them.
    They're crazy and they'll make you crazy if you dont do anything about this
