lol, there was plenty of cursing though!!!

I'm going to go mow my lawn and listen to The Hake Report!

Repost from general discussion: I forgave my mother today. She said she “accepts my apology “. Interesting because my forgiveness wasn’t an apology for her to accept. I think that I failed because she thinks that I’m the one who’s wrong because I held anger and resentment towards her. I honestly don’t know how to proceed from here. Do I go through the process again to explain she’s the one who caused me to be that way since she didn’t get it the first time?

Also, I do understand that I was wrong to hold resentment and anger towards her. I guess it just wasn’t the answer from her that I was expecting. Then again, black mothers seem to think they can do no wrong. If that’s the case, even though she proclaims to be a Christian, I believe she’s still in a fallen state because she didn’t realize I was forgiving her for the evil that she’s done towards me (or maybe she did & this was her way of maintaining control?).

@PastPresentFuture You’re right! Although I wasn’t expecting an apology from her, I was expecting her to act out. But you’re right, I shouldn’t have expected anything because I was only there to forgive her. You’re right because the more I thought about it, I realized it was anger in me from her telling me that she forgives me even though I didn’t ask for an apology or forgiveness. I really need to understand and remember like you and Jesse said, she can’t help herself. It appears that the problem must be with me. I went to her to forgive her, and instead of loving her and forgiving her I became a beta male a was offended. That’s not love on my part. However I didn’t act out or become outwardly angry or anything like that, I just said ok and left it at that. I think I was confused because I was expecting the anger to leave immediately after I told her I forgive you and that I held anger and resentment towards her because of the things she did to me. I’m going to pray on this and perhaps I will need to go to her and forgive her again. Thanks for responding, I greatly appreciate it.

@JesseLee Thank you so much for responding my question on August 9th's show, Mr. Jesse. I just saw it today being that I'm trying to catch up on my back log of your shows. God bless you for the work that you are doing to help us all to over come our anger & to reconnect with our Father in Heaven. Thank you again!!!
