    Hmmm, I just sent a letter to someone else about this very topic. I am copying it here, because the words are just as relevant.

    My kids didn't have it easy either. I was also often abusive. Not verbally, physically. What I didn't know soon enough was that I had a physical problem that was affecting me emotionally. When I get low blood sugar, I become psychotic. Once they found out what the problem was, and got the sugar problem under control, the rages disappeared. Unfortunately, there was a lot of emotional damage done to my girls. I have spent the last 38 years trying to atone. It isn't possible to fix the past. I can only be the best I can be and no better. Fortunately for my last child, the problem was solved before she was born, and she has only good memories of growing up with me for a mom. Lucky me. Two of the others have forgiven me, and the third, tries, but she has serious problems, and I know that I am the cause of them and so if she can't forgive me, I can forgive her for her hate. I love her. And that is unconditional.

      Thanks for your feedback. The largest reason I refuse to forgive my mother is the fact that I actually want her to feel hurt because, she hurt me, I'm aware that I'm not being rational but it enables me to cope.

    I understand very personally how you feel. My father is very verbally and psychologically abusive to me, and I do my best to just stay away from him.
