I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.

I learned to forgive myself, and that enabled me to forgive my mother as a person.

I remember my uncle and my father telling me that my mother didn't want me because I was blind. She thought being blind was a disgrace and a punishment from God. I understand that a lot of young mothers probably wouldn't know what to do in that situation, but over your life you learn to forgive everything.

Now that I'm a father, I've forgiven my parents.

I'm very forgiving so I forgive most things, really.

Mother had committed me for life. This is where I felt betrayed the most.

I just hope everybody forgives me for whatever I did wrong. And hope they remember some of what I did right.

When you forgive, you in no way change the past - but you sure do change the future.

As a father now, I wouldn't do what my dad did, because it left me feeling emotionally unstable as a kid. But he didn't do the things he did out of selfishness or malice.

Decades later I would look into my father's eyes and try to reach past the murkiness of Alzheimer's with my words, my apology, hoping that in his heart he heard me and understood.
