Why Is It So Hard to Forgive My Mother?
Hello Eucarl, I'm a 34-year-old man, and this has been weighing on my heart for years. My birth mother abandoned me when I was just 2 years old. My father raised me alone and later married a wonderful woman who treated me like her own son. Still, growing up, I always wondered why my real mother left me. Just after I graduated from university, she suddenly came back into my life with two young children. I was angry and confused, but I tried to build a relationship with them. Three years later, she passed away and left her children in my care. I did my best for them. One of them became seriously ill, and I went into debt trying to save his life. Sadly, he didn't survive. Today, I'm struggling financially, grieving my sibling, and carrying a lot of resentment toward my mother. Sometimes I feel like she abandoned me twice—first as a child, then again as an adult. I want to move on, but I don't know how. Why is it so hard to forgive her, and what would you advise me to do? I will be reading the comments. Thank you.
