โPeople can forgive toxic parents, but they should do it at the conclusion โ not at the beginning of their emotional housecleaning. People need to get angry about what happened to them. They need to grieve over the fact that they never had the parental love they yearned for. They need to stop diminishing or discounting the damage that was done to them. Too often, โforgive and forgetโ means โpretend it didnโt happen.โ
