Forgiveness has always been something I struggled with. Growing up I was abused physically and mentally by my biological mother. To this day I still struggle with truly forgiving her. She makes this even harder to do because. She always brings up the past and flips everything I say into an argument or twists my words to make it seem like I am the one causing the fight. Even after saying “I just want to move on and have a relationship. If not for me, then for your grandson”. God has taught me so much about loving others and doing what is right. However, I still feel like I am always loosing ground with her, even when trying to do the right thing. Anymore I feel it is easier to just let the relationship die completely then to put constant effort in only to receive none in return.
Any prayers for this situation or any advice is more than welcome. Thanks!
