In this week's TMT episode, Janet and Brian go deep into talking about ideas around forgiveness when it comes to dealing with immigrant parents. In this story, a 30+ year old posted about being raised by neglectful and abusive parents, who then, as an adult, distanced themselves for 7 years only to return to find that nothing has changed.

Many Asian-Americans see how they “should have been raised,” under a westernized lens of what a loving and supportive family looks like. Janet and Brian go on to explain what this looks like in their individual experiences, While also explaining that even for them there are still past events that they continue to struggle with. It makes it easier to forgive when you are able to empathize with the people who need to be forgiven.

Forgiving people can be especially difficult when the people that you need to forgive don't even realize that they have done anything wrong, but there is a secret to this. The secret is that forgiveness is not something that you give two other people it's something that you give to yourself.
