I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

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

My mother was suffering every day of her life, and what right did I have to be happy if she was suffering? So whenever I got happy about something, I felt the need to cut it off, and the only way to cut it off was to pray. 'Forgive me Lord.' For what, I didn't know.

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

My parents divorced when I was young but I was brought up in two really loving households. I didn't have a contentious relationship with my mom or dad.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

I'm a forgiver. I might not forget, but I forgive. My mother, father and older brother always told me: 'Don't hold grudges. If you do that, you don't lower yourself down to your adversary. Just treat people the way you want to be treated.' I honestly think that's why I was able to survive and have some success.

My mom had struggles. My dad had struggles. He raised me as a single parent. I rebelled and almost quit amateur boxing, but my faith in God had a lot to do with me slowly getting my life together.

Forgiveness is important in families, especially when there are so many secrets that need to be healed - for the most part, every family's got them.

The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.
