first off I am beginning to forgive everyone who has been responsible for the hatred, the misinformation, the evil, the past two years. Second off I am trying to forgive myself as well.
How interesting that we are both in a process of ‘letting go’ and forgiving. I get so frustrated with myself for ‘reacting’ to my daughter’s sometimes cruel distancing…by replying with angst, thinking I am being open and honest in my pain. Today, after reading your diary entry ~ I am trying to ‘let go’ because I really have no idea what raising a difficult teenager might be like for her…and do not wish to add my stories to either of us.?

Loraine, forgive yourself as well as her. We’re only human!
