It's important I think to forgive. You're not forgiving your parents or these people as a favor or an act of kindness to them, also that they can live their lives guilt free. So forgive, but don't forget. And talk to a professional who can give you advice and address any of the long term psychological and emotional harms or insecurities that this upbringing may have caused.
In this episode we discuss the characteristics of toxic parents and the impact they have on our development and adulthood. We dive into narcissistic parental abuse, intergenerational trauma, overcoming a toxic upbringing and how to establish boundaries.
