I am working on that very thing.....I have forgiven people, such as my stepmother, and my ex-husband....my stepmother passed away, but, my ex-husband and I are now friends.....it has been very hard for me to forget all the things my stepmother did to my sister and I.....more so to me...
I still harbor all those childhood memories, and I don't want too....

If God can forgive us and forget, we should be able too....I really loved my stepmother in many ways, and at times, I felt like I hated her......
I brought her down to KY, for her last 8 yrs. to the nursing home where I worked......am glad I did....

Love, sooo

Those who matter don't judge me. Those who judge me don't matter.
