I can understand that resentment towards your father and I'm glad you managed to let go of that. It's interesting how it's often our own children that help us change our perspective to take that step.
I never told or shared with my daughters my pain towards my father.
I can understand that. It's not their burden, after all, so they don't need to feel like they should shoulder it.
Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves.
I love this. A very good perspective to have in such a tough situation
