What's the most difficult thing you've forgiven?

Posted on Sep 18th, 2007 by AlcheMystic : AlcheMystic AlcheMystic
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 18, 2007:

The BIGGEST thing I forgave. which was not difficult, was the fact that my mother lied to me about my father which spun into a lie about my ethnicity.  I grew up believing I was half Mexican when I was really half Thai.  In the space of 15 minute conversation my dad technically became my step dad, my brother technically became my half brother and I became half Thai.  I eventually met my biological dad.  It was easy to forgive my mom because I knew it wasn't right or productive to judge her.  She made her choices in a effort to protect me.  I would have chosen differently however I do not know what it is like to be a single mom in 1965.  Luckily I grew up in a different age.

I too went through hell–due to an age when women weren't allowed reproductive choice or the freedom to bear a child without judgment from others.

My best to you.
