Forgive Mom and Dad Day
 |
In that enormity which is parenting my folks were careful to point out that we didn't come with instructions and this provided growth opportunities all around.
Those perceptions of hurt and frustration which are part and parcel of any human interaction are not a place for blame between a child and parent; for indeed acceptance of that relationship precludes those things which may be attributed to "blame" as simply that which has occurred.
In other words ... "stuff happens". I too played the "blame game" up to a point. When I witnessed the decline of my biological father it all seemed all too petty and I placed everything aside.
There became no further room for the idiot within me. My world was imploding and I was helpless to do anything about it.
When daddy passed I was too brokenhearted to experience anything but grief; and that remorse which comes from wishing more had been done sooner.

So let it be known in this time and place that Mom and Dad — and based on my personal experience — ANYONE'S Mom and Dad are typically beyond reproach in the normal parent child relationship.
Anything to the contrary could bear examination of those feelings which comprise that perceived hostility.
Some things are better when let go as that nothingness they are.
My folks never needed forgiveness from me for anything ever.
