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?

You would be surprised. This place isn't only hateful. We know who are the culprits and our hate is directed towards them. Beside our enemies, we have a heart. Message for OP: you don't need to forgive. You need to move on. From what you said, Your mom was a piece of shit.

you don't need to forgive

I wouldn't bother, except we're in ...

If you don't forgive others, your Father will not forgive your offenses. (Matthew 6:15)

Seems like you're in direct contradiction to the teachings of Jesus (and of some apostles)

Remember that forgiveness requires repentance first. Even God wont forgive unrepentant sinners - they'll be destroyed in a lake of fire.

Whose forgiveness? God paid the price for our forgiveness/salvation before we were born.
