It took awhile for me to forgive my parents for their imperfections and the extent to which their parenting contributed to my mental illness. Of course, I never told them that. It is often easier to afix blame to parents than it is to accept them as being human. Some can leave a hell of a lot of scars. It can take awhile to accept the scars without blaming, understanding that there is cause-and-effect that cannot be overlooked unless one wishes to remain in denial.
I don't know. Just some psychobabble.
