But that just feels it's already a kind of not a guilty feeling, but it is kind of hard to share your kid with people and then to have to reintroduce or introduce someone completely into your child's life. I think that's just a scary thought for me because obviously my son is, my son is at the age now to where whenever I mentioned Nan or grandma or Gramps, he knows who I'm talking about, you know?
I just don't know how to move forward from this. Like, how do I begin to get, I guess, the forgiveness? My mom, I talked to her about it. She was like, well, I was very mad at your dad for a long time until I went to like a church meeting and the lady spoke on forgiveness. And she was like, after I left that meeting, like a huge weights.

felt like lifted off of me because I realized that I needed to forgive your dad. And I don't know what it's going to take for me to get to that point. I don't even know how to begin to get to that point because I don't know. I just have a lot of questions.

Right. And it's even harder because my mom assumed that he would be a great dad because his dad was the same way that he is. So when my parents were married, my mom always saw the hurt from him and his sister because their dad didn't know how to be a dad. So it was kind of like an apple doesn't fall far from the tree situation. So he ended up being just like his dad. And my dad actually said that.

I think I have a lot more in common with him than I would like to think that I did. And I was like, yeah.

Right. I think for the last five years, whenever someone brings it up to me, I'm always quick to be like, I don't care about it. But then it's like whenever I get to thinking about it or something triggers me, like you said, that's when I'm kind of like, well, maybe it is affecting me a little bit more than I think it would. And I think I only have felt this way since becoming a mom.
