Yes I have, it took a while! We just can’t decide on what schedule that someone forgives, and it’s really soon for them.
Yup.
Thanks. You have far more insight into this matter than I will ever have. And I respect your comments.
God Bless....
Heck, I thought we were talking about somebodies Mom. Stalin and Hitler, knock yourself out.
My ex-wife of 20 years ago just died. At the funeral, husband acknowledged that she could be “difficult”. Seems that several wanted me to share “war stories”. I chose not to participate. It just didn’t seem right bringing up the past. She had a lot of good qualities also and I prefer to remember that.
Anyway, it was just my opinion. But I think in most cases, other than genocidal manics, that it is pretty good advice...
A friend of mine who is a social worker said of foster parents: “Ten percent of them are saints and ninety percent are in it for the money.”
By the sound of it, Just because she is dead don’t mean she cant haunt people.
SOunds like a real Harpy
Any insight I have I unfortunately got the hard way.
If we’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead then we’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead.
That was your ex-wife from 20 years in the past, you broke up, you moved on. Mom’s screw people up on a much more permanent basis. 2 of her 8 kids are dead. Wonder how many of the survivors have drug or alcohol problems. Every day they have to deal with the fact that their mom was a nut who abused them. When was the last time you had to deal with the fact that your ex was “difficult”? It’s all about the wounds, if you recover before they die sure leave the past in the past. If there’s half a dozen of you still struggling with the effects, it’s not really the past.
To be quite honest with you the only thing in life that makes any sense to me is killing as many vermin like your parents as we possibly can. They are the majority of the human species. What is the point of doing anything else? Nothing is possible as long as these vermin infect generation after generation. The only way to get rid of troublesome weeds is to pull them from the roots.
The maddening thing is my parents were remorseful after the abuse, which was worse, Sis and I grew up totally confused. I have confronted my Mom who now has amnesia about it, like most abusive parents in the 1970’s and early 1980’s. She falls back on that her parents did it also and that it was not that bad. I guess getting closed fist punched at the dinner table for teasing my Sister was right out of Dr. Spock Mom....
Damn.
Not to make light of it. But..
Sounds like Dr. Evils therapy session in the Austin Powers movie. It’s a hoot. You ought to look it up.
