I used to view my parents as my heroes, especially my dad, and I knew they loved me but they didn't know how to love me in my way, which caused me great pain and left me feeling inadequate. I recently came to a place within myself where I removed the hero labeling that I placed on them and began to humanize them, which gave me the ability to look beyond my own childhood deficits in search of theirs. This shift in perspective provided me with tremendous healing and it gave me the compassion to finally understand that my parents did the best they could with the tools they had. -- Just because we forgive, doesn't mean we forget and it certainly doesn't mean that we have to engage in a relationship with the people that hurt us. But ultimately, forgiveness for others is a selfish act because it frees us from being tethered to that person. Love sets us free, hate keeps us imprisoned.
