My mother lived her life in a traditional manner and often placed blame on others.
As a child, I endured a nightmare due to her shortcomings as a parent. You take my current success, stability, and quality of life for granted, believing I am obligated to take care of you, but you are mistaken.
During my time staying with her, we had to revisit my childhood and remind her that the beliefs, principles, and choices I now embody did not come from her or my father, but rather from my own journey.
It is by God's grace, my acceptance of Jesus, and my repentance for my sins that I have become a new creation in heart and spirit.
Many in the Black community tend to blame others but seldom seek forgiveness for their wrongs, especially those they inflicted upon the children they brought into this world.
