Instead i grieve constantly. Because of how far along i was i had to labour for 6 -8 hours until i passed the fetus.(CHILD) I had previousy gone to my mum and said hey im pregnant please support/help me. all i got in return at best was to abort. My boyfriend at that time also berated me also and demanded i terminated the pregnancy until i felt i had no choice.<br />I WILL ALWAYS REGRET THIS DECISION.and find it incredibly hard to ever forgive my mum.

We don't earn them or make ourselves worthy of them through our pain etc. So, they won't go away when your pain is less.. God wants your life to be filled with His Grace and His Joy. He wants all the wounds to be healed so that your pain will be less, and your Joy made full.<br /><br />Keep praying to forgive. It's so freeing!

I ...Hi I just "happened upon" your blog. I don't have much to say but wanted to know I stopped and read. what an incredible journey you have been on and are on. <br /><br />I think it is so hard to forgive, but you are correct in doing it you are released from your pain. I pray that you are able to grasp what a wonderful person you are for working through this process and sharing your life in such a way!lily joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866401618609983325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515795942844142992.post-37191416981649195662011-10-19T18:46:12.444-04:002011-10-19T18:46:12.444-04:00I've done the exercise your counselor wants yo...I've done the exercise your counselor wants you to do - except it wasn't a convo with my mom, it was with GOD! Talk about pressure, eh? It actually was really eye-opening for me though. I made God really nice. :)<br /><br />Just my thought reading your family history here, I'm not surprised you're finding it hard to forgive her since it doesn't sound like you grew up knowing what it felt like to BE forgiven, really. You were disappointing your parents so often .. but it doesn't sound like they forgave you. I still remember my mother telling me that I wanted to go to college and THEN get married; don't you love that? And I know how it felt not having my father's approval/love anymore. Like, right when my body started changing growing up, he quit being affectionate. I wasn't promiscuous till AFTER my abortion though - because I wanted my baby back! Anyway, ha, my mother is actually PROUD of the fact she could get me stop in my tracks with just "that look."<br /><br />Well, before my comment becomes really long because I could go on forever about not forgiving my mother (or technically both my parents, or my sister), I'll end by saying it's hard to anticipate knowing what your mother would actually say if she's in denial or justifying her actions or whatever. If your counselor's saying that you could make your mother "say" whatever you want her to, not even taking into consideration the way your mother actually IS, it's possible that might heal the nagging loop of imaginary speeches you make to her or fights with her in you head (like I tend to get caught up in). <br /><br />P.S. Make your mother really nice. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448140232721222635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515795942844142992.post-7166354913024830222011-10-18T23:34:34.407-04:002011-10-18T23:34:34.407-04:00"Depression is easy for me. Happiness is hard..."Depression is easy for me. Happiness is hard."<br /><br />It something I still struggle with from time to time. The harsh honest and somewhat comforting truth is, the pain never goes away. Regardless of how many times you hear YOU ARE forgiven, or how many times you may or may not hear I am sorry...it is always there. What you may not know is, you have a right to that pain. ALWAYS. A part of you, a piece of you is forever missing. An event, a moment in time that happened altered everything; forever. That cannot be erased by a word or act my friend. You have the right to feel, however; always. <br /><br />Make today beautiful!<br /><br />Love, <br />EmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
