I wouldn’t call myself a fan but I love to read celebrity memoirs so I’d read this. Hope she’s in a healing place rn

I know who she is from various roles (like on FNL) but I wouldn't say I'm a fan. I've always been neutral towards her. I don't love her or hate her but I know that she exists and that she's very pretty and that's about the extent of it. I love reading memoirs (celebrity and otherwise) so I know I will end up reading this eventually. I had no idea about her childhood so I really feel for her. It sounds like she's processed a lot of her feelings about her mom. I hope she's able to forgive herself because it sounds like she feels guilty about the resentment and negative feelings she had about her mom.

I hope she can forgive herself too. I recoil whenever people say to forgive your abuser, to me that's a continuation of abuse and a Stockholm Syndrome type-situation, so it's always refreshing when people say that someone can hopefully forgive themselves. Bc that's the forgiveness that makes the far bigger and more positive difference it would seem.

That's exactly what my wife and I work on a lot. I always tell her she doesn't need to forgive her mother to forgive herself and heal. It made a HUGE positive difference in her healing.

It's common for abuse victims to have feelings of guilt and to blame themselves, questioning whether they did anything to cause the abuse. I think realizing that it wasn't their fault, letting go of those feelings of self doubt, and forgiving themselves (even though they actually have nothing to forgive themselves for) can be more powerful and healing than forgiving the abuser.

I have so much resentment for my mom and I know I'll regret it if I don't address the issues and talk to her before she dies but I can't bring my cowardly self to do it.

How is she with your kid?
