What’s this entitlement getting attached to forgiveness that’s fast becoming a norm?
Someone would come online to say their parents that abandoned them from childhood is now trying to claim parenting and the comment section is filled with “you don’t have a choice than to forgive your parent” “your mother or father would always be your mother or father, you don’t have a choice “.
Like??? What about how the supposed child felt all these years? That’s not important? It’s just the right his/her parents have? They have the right to be forgiven by their child, irrespective of their offense because blood is thicker than water? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against forgiveness but stop forcing it down people’s throats without addressing their own feelings first.
Nah! Don’t give me that look because my Bible didn’t define forgiveness as the right and ticket to hurt people.
Your husband raped your child but your child must forgive him and move on because he’s her father. A sibling would flee with another sibling’s life savings and come back months after without feeling remorseful but family members would say it to your face that you don’t have a choice than to forgive.
Let’s stop expecting people to forgive without a genuine apology or effort to make amends. Let’s prioritize healing, respect, and empathy. Forgiveness is a personal journey that should not be forced.
Forced forgiveness has turned some people into becoming future monsters. It has affected some mentally, thereby being traumatised by past hurt. Give hurt people time to heal, it’s their right. Avoid shutting them down when they want to express how hurt they are, it might be their process to healing.
Concurrently, family doesn’t mean liberty to hurt other people with the assurance of you having the right to be forgiven over them. Know this and drink tea on top. Period!
I think it’s important to understand that forgiveness and punishment are not the same thing. When someone wrongs us and later returns seeking forgiveness, offering that forgiveness doesn’t automatically mean there are no consequences. Forgiveness is about releasing resentment, but accountability still matters.
Accountability 📌

Well! It’s essential to take note that family, taking into cognition father & mother is irreplaceable as their presence will be too detrimental most especially to the child upbringing. Nonetheless, i am not saying abandoning one’s child by any parent is a very next step to taken by any apt and reasonable parent regardless of whatsoever might have betide their mundane. Furthermore,I am not taking sides as i deemed it fit to making sure i want my comment balance in this issue, and on the part of forgiveness, no matter excruciating the pain any parent have cause or done to his child, well it is appropriate a child forgive wholeheartedly though the relationship or connection between the two people might not be mutual afterwards. Nevertheless, forgiveness ought to be spontaneous as it should not be forced because one might forgive but won’t forget in which on the long-run will later haunt, taunt and eventually retaliate and hurt the other.
Interesting 🧡! I understand your view, Champ.
Ever wondered why some couples would have issue and after a supposed forgiveness, one would physically hurt the other years later to avenge? That’s why it’s important to give the hurt person time to process and heal.
There should always be accountability from both parties, with the offender feeling remorseful.
