Thank you for sharing your story Sarah's Knight. It is truly understandable how you feel. When I see the verses about honoring our parents, I don't think that means never disagreeing with them, especially if they have been abusive or leading towards sin. We are to honor them in how we live our lives for the Lord.
I have been through a lot of the same as you. My mom was incredibly abusive and neglectful growing up. Worse yet, we often lived with roommates who also abused me and she turned a blind eye. This happened for a long time and it wasn't until the last few years she apologized to me for all she did and all she let happen. I have forgiven her, but it's difficult at times not to feel sink back into those feelings. My dad was the same way most of my childhood until he got his life together, so the best I can do is try to focus on the future. I can't blame my mom for her mistakes when I've made plenty of my own and that's the beauty of forgiveness.
I will pray for you guys and I hope your relationship grows closer![]()
Thank you as well, Saucy.
