But if I can forgive them for their incredibly traumatic mistakes, then I should be able to forgive myself for my own...I wish it were that simple.

I wish I had a mother who would just love me...
No, not every parent would have done that. Good parents would not have done that. You would not have done the same, I don't believe that for a minute, not really. I would never do that to my daughter. NEVER. I am not a perfect mom, I definitely have said hurtful things to her and such. It's part of why I am in therapy, but I would NEVER give up on my daughter, not for a minute.
