Forgiving parents can be a tough thing to do. I know we are to honor them, but I also believe that they should be honorable. My mother was more concerned with other family members' feelings than she was mine. She figured I could handle it since I never complained, well, not when I was young. Now, she's old. All I can hope for is that when she is in the next life, God will give her the responsibilities she deserves, but they probably won't be what they could have been.
