i cant say i was severly abused, but enough where i had bruises and scratches and bumps. it eventually stopped, but will i ever EVER be able to forgive?? i mean, i have soooo much bitterness in my heart and there have been so many times where i couldn't even look at my mom just because i filled with so much hatred towards her. i prayed and prayed hoping for a healthy relationship with her, but...it's still really bad. the physical abuse has stopped but the verbal abuse is definately there. i just sometimes wish i could scream and yell until my face turned blue, letting it all out. but will i EVER get the chance?? and will i EVEr stop being sooo angry towards her??
