My mom was not the best mom in the world. Some could say not being raised by a parent would have been better than being raised by ... her. My dad was always a passive one, the enabler who would strap you down whilst mom beat us. My mom got so bad, my brother drinks every day trying to forget what happened, he just doesn't want to remember. My mom would threaten us with knives, dry fire guns in front of us for "fun", she kept insisting we were gay when we weren't because she hated she couldn't pick up brownie points for the new age globo homo, she kept seeing us as her meal ticket to her retirement, so she would constantly hammer us for not making enough money, not dressing right, insulting her by asking basic questions about her thought process. The question is why should I forgive her? Even if i wanted to, how would i begin to commit to such a feat?

Your path was brutal and you still found GOD and your goal now maybe is to get your brother to your level and ditch the booze. Ozzy calls it demon alcohol for a reason and it's a real reason I know myself.

So your a strong man now that has been tempered by his childhood ordeals. Maybe you'll never forgive her. I was reading something biblical online and realized you have to love and forgive the ones that hurt you. You don't have to like them but you should realize that past cannot be changed by your heart can and should so GOD can lead you better and you show the better part of yourself that wasn't allowed to be destroyed.

That love you allow to show for giving you life though she fucked up raising you spectacularly by the sound of it your an adult now and use your heart to know what is truly right since revenge like hate is a sin so just let that pain go and do the raising of your own the right way you know she should have realized was proper not narcissistic control.
