In reply to the discussion: how old were you when you forgave your parents? [View all]NNadir
(33,523 posts)50. Most of the time I'm looking to forgive myself for the way I treated them...
...particularly my mother who died relatively young from a horrible disease.
I really understood them when I became a parent myself, and I wished they could have been here to laugh at me and my struggles with being a father.
They did their best; they made mistakes but did so with the purest intentions; they were loving, caring, generous and in many ways, wise.

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