In reply to the discussion: how old were you when you forgave your parents? [View all]catbyte
(34,393 posts)31. I'm one of the lucky ones--there was really nothing to forgive. Not saying my childhood was
perfect, but I can honestly say that, at 61, I have no scars from them, and miss them every day. My significant other, on the other hand, does. His big memory of his mom is her threatening to drive into a tree, killing her & him, to lay a guilt trip on him that he would be "orphaning his sisters & it would be all his fault." He was 12. GACK!

For me they need no forgiveness. They loved us, we loved them and now miss them.
