[QUOTE="katya02, post: 566812, member: 2884"] I understand the pain of seeing a letter like that ... my difficult child has written to me, and told me various times, that he 'forgives me' for all the 'horrible stuff' I did to him all his life. That if he's forgiven me, I should be able to forgive his dad for all the abuse. He's very close to his dad. This is a knife to the heart, because all those years I was my difficult child's only advocate and support. His father didn't deign to participate in parenting except to go over the top every so often, and never supported difficult child in anything. But I'm the one who has to be forgiven. Their perceptions can be so warped. I think we have to just remember the truth, all the things we've done and all the love we've given, and try to let the pain slide off our backs. But it's not easy. Sending many {{{hugs}}}. [/QUOTE]
