Lana :
This is not a sentimental defence of parents. It is a challenge to generational arrogance.

SummerBreeze :
I was thinking about this yesterday. It seems my children only remember my mistakes. And frankly, I'm tired of apologizing. Not one good thing is ever mentioned.

Shele :
Children only display their programming. Children are innocent so are their parents. Because our parents were programmed too.

mammabearcrzy :
we can honor our parents and their struggles without excusing the trauma we endured. and if a parent never acknowledge their mistakes or harm they caused, then they don't deserve respect.

Mochi Mochi :
understanding the limitations of our parents and how they came to be like that doesn't excuse the pain they caused. seeing the whole picture matters. if our endurance and resilience resulted as a skill our parents forced us to have to survive them, they should be credited for that stress. and we have to acknowledge that we came from a line of unwilling parents. that they didn't want to sacrifice for the children but had to because they had kids just because it was time or everyone else were also having kids, making them resentful of the life they brought here. we do not owe gratitude to parents we had to survive.

They endured and survived and they chose to pass that down to us. But we're bringing up another generation where they will never relate! we went through unimaginable trauma and have choose that it ends with us. No more passing down. There was a choice.!

Truth Seeker🇨🇦 :
As I walk through my own healing journey I have learned to forgive my parents. I do not know what they themselves had to go through they did the best they could. I look inward at myself now and what I must change as that is the only person I have control over.

tdawg20002000 :
They left us to raise ourselves. We literally were told to sit down & shut up. When I think back to my childhood, I don’t remember them being there - ever! Where the hell were they?!

Leemo! :
An acknowledgment and sincere apology is all we want. Hard to see the good in your parents when they can’t admit to any wrongdoing and want to perpetuate their abuse even through your adulthood. That is the disconnect.

this is jayla she's the girl ; :
so good. so true. I don't want to be venerated, but to be cut down to my worst days without being seen for my best days, or understood for what I've struggled to overcome, seems unfair.
