Sometimes it's impossible for us to forgive. I have never forgiven some family members for what they did and how they behaved and treated me groiwing up. Fuck them. They're now dead and will not be missed.

Daddy issues? Probably.

I delt with the situation by staying away from them, never contacting them, then eventually reading their obituaries. Godd riddance. It gave me a sense of relief.

If that makes me sound unloving, unforgiving, whatever, so be it. I'm human. We all are.

None of them ever attemtped to reconcile for the hurt and pain they caused. They were incapable.

I guess I forgave them in the only way I could, I stayed away and tried to forget about them and the pain they inflicted.

And I'll likely take that pain to my own grave. So be it. But at least I try not to repeat their mistakes and bad behavior.

Not all of us are capable of forgiving. The pain is just too deep.
