It must’ve been a very stressful experience for you, but everything turned out well. Your mother sounds like a wonderful, supportive woman and she helped you consider forgiveness and allowed you to make your own decision without forcing you in any way. It’s wonderful that you finally met your father and found a way forward together.

My mother is a rare gem. I liked the way she calmly encouraged me to make things right. I'm glad.
