I'm looking for a way to forgive my mom for some things she has done in the past, but I find it extremely difficult to move on some days...I can do okay for a few weeks sometimes, but then I will randomly get angry and irritated...It tends to be that way for a while too. I don't know how to forgive, or possible give somebody a second chance, but I want to learn...
I would really appreciate any suggestions...Thank you for reading this. JustDontAsk |

" I will randomly get angry and irritated", does this occur by remembering and then contemplating on past misconduct?Keeping your mind focused only on the good your mom has done coupled with a discontinuance from all forms of contact with her for a period of time will help to bring forgiveness.

Yeah, that's exactly why it happens...I just can't get over some things, and that's my fault anyway.
I wish I didn't have to talk with her...but I'm only 16, so I don't have much of a choice. I'll try to focus on the good, though. Even though I think it is difficult sometimes. Thank you for the post. JustDontAsk |

Since your parents divorced when you were young, are you feeling angry with your mom and yet assigning fault to yourself for their divorce? Have you seen a counselor and had a chance to talk out your feelings? That might be helpful for you.

I'm angry because she seems to think she doesn't have to tell me the truth about some things. She sits there and lies to my face. Or hides things. And I wish she'd just tell me the truth. Any time I tell her that, she claims she is. And if she is...well then my whole world will be turned upside-down...
I don't see a counselor. I have a couple of good friends and a trusted adult, but I don't feel like I should bother them with my issues all of the time. I don't think I can talk to my mom about seeing someone either...because then she will just want to take that role. I think she would probably do anything to know what is going on in my life. I just keep her out. Thanks for the post, I really appreciate it. (: JustDontAsk |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
