It would have made it easier for me to forgive her if my mother admitted to all that she’d done to me. But when I approached her a couple of times about it, she denied it and actually told me that she was a good mother.

She’s no longer around and I’m left with myself and for myself to heal. But it’s always there. And I hope that there are ways for you to make it easier on yourself. Because, after all, you deserve it.
