Guest guest Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 I realized today that sending a letter to my Nada was not in my best interest. This is before I went NC. I noticed Toxic Parents promotes this, but other books and publications do not. They instead say to write the letter to get it out of your system, and then envision how a confrontation with your parent would look like. I see now that writing a letter seems to have caused me more stress than it was worse. I wasn't going to see my Nada anymore, anyway...so I don't know why I sent it. Oh well. Thanks for listening. I don't know what the next step is. I feel like I can forgive her and let it go...truly let it go. I am just beginning to enjoy my life immensely and it feels farther and farther away. Is it okay to forgive someone from afar in your heart (and maybe through prayer) and not actually do it in person? The letter was obviously not pleasant as it talked of abuse; but I don't feel like seeing her to forgive her. So toxic. I am just confused at the concept of forgiveness. I probably have other issues of guilt as well. -Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
