My father was abusive in every way (not sexual). He continued his abuse even after I grew up and married ... it became verbal. It has been difficult to say the least. Now he is much older & I dont know how much time he has left at his advanced age.
I keep trying to forgive him and, somehow, he will say another abusive/hurtful thing and I am angry again. I pray and pray because I want to forgive him completely but the hurt is still there. Often dont want to even talk to him, but I do because I feel guilty if I don't. So my prayers need others' prayers that I finally let go of my anger & hurt. I dont want to have guilt on top of grief when he passes. Any suggestions/prayers/anything will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you and keeping you all in my prayers.
