How can you forgive when it's more than they hurt you? How CAN you forgive when the whole journey was predicated upon they had an unrelenting intention to harass, to browbeat, to injure your self, to demean, and/or to destroy you? Your freakin' parent(s)!!! And you live with them and can't escape.

Some things you can forgive. Some things you can't.
