The Grim Price of Forgiveness!

The TRUTH about shyness! <br> <br>Wow that would match up , thank you . My father is mostly great but my mother has suffered from mental health and poor social skills throughout my life. <br> <br>To add a layer of depth.. <br>I used to be more angry towards my mother in general <br>When I was 18-19 I learned that she was abused by a past partner and stabbed. <br>After learning this my views changed towards explaining away her faults with this information. <br>This has led to me not letting her be morally accountable and taking away my respect for her (as you stated previously) <br>How do you look past Trauma and respect people enough to hold them accountable? <br> <br>Anyone else constantly corrected by parents over the most unimportant details no one else on earth cares about? <br> <br>Thanks Stef, this is very freeing. How can i tell if emotional reactions are merely trauma responses; a result of being &quot;triggered&quot; leading to misunderstandings and therefore require further introspection, apologies and perhaps seeking out therapy again versus when they are a result of legitimate grievances, frustrations etc? <br> <br>Freedomain Livestream Aug 1 2023
