“I had a difficult childhood. I immigrated to the U.S. at thirteen, and not only could I not communicate with anyone, but my parents got a divorce as soon as we got there. My mom remarried and I suddenly had a stepdad, and after that my real dad was not really in my life. There are choices parents make that hurt their kids. Growing up in that kind of environment, I was emotionally wounded and quite difficult to deal with. Those wounds didn’t heal right away. There was a lot of pain between my parents and me, and talking would have just deepened these wounds. It was only after I became an adult and found my own sense of self that I started talking about my feelings with my parents. Some things took years to bring up to them. Now, we really have a good relationship. And my parents have a good relationship with each other, too.” “What made you forgive your parents?” “Me forgiving them wasn’t in response to something they did. It wasn’t like they said sorry and I forgave them, but instead I chose to forgive them first before they had a chance to say or do anything. It was only after that that we started to talk about all of these things. You can’t give love if you haven’t received it. I made up my mind to show my parents the same love and warmth I had felt from the people around me. So I forgave them. If you hate someone, you’re the only one who suffers, but through forgiveness you can free yourself.”
