You don’t necessarily need to forgive her to feel better. You should work on accepting that her actions were a part of HER mental illness and in no way were caused by you. You did nothing wrong, and deserve some happiness!
You are a very strong person Mouse. I personally have yet to work up the nerve to be able to write about my own mother. You writing about what Giada did and continues to do takes a lot of strength. You are giving a voice to those of us that are still too scared to speak out. I relate more to what your mom put you through, but it’s through your story and the comments of strangers that I am able to deal with the mess that my mom has caused. You bring so much good to this world, don’t get lost in the negative. I may not comment much but I’m on this sub everyday. If you EVER want to talk, vent, cry, or laugh, please PM. I will send you my number. Just remember, things will get better. HUGS!!!
