Some things aren't so easily forgiven

Published on September 20, 2005 By Karigoya Yabureme In Home & Family

...my sister might be moving back home.
And, no offence to her or anything, but I seriously don't want her to.

I love her and everything, but she moved out because of irreparable damage she did to me and my mom.
Now, she's moving back in, and it's like everything's forgotten, let's go on and be a normal family again!

:< Nothing happened, you never stole our kittens and sold them without mom's permission! You never hurt mom traumatically, probably for the rest of her life!

Why can some things so severe be so easily forgiven? Things like this take time to heal, yet everyone but me is all ready to be a 'normal family' again.

I'm happier without my sister; at the moment I have my own room until I move out.
But at this rate, I'll be doomed to sharing with the one person who hurt my mom most in the world, apart from my dad of course.

Has something like this ever happened to you? A traumatic event that can be so easily forgiven like mine?
I know, for one, what my sister did to us will never be forgiven, but what about all of you?

I know how you feel babe; sometimes, things happen we don't understand.
It's happened to me, and I suggest trying to stop her from getting to come home.

Explain to your mom that your sister hurt you all deeply, and that you don't want her home because of what she's done.

Because, that what a family does.

That's ridiculous. She needs her family right now; we all need help. I suppose I would like a little forgivness if I'd done something wrong...haven't we all made mistakes?

Remember that, sometimes, family is all a person has in the world. I think your mom knows that.

(And your sister's more important than kittens. Honestly, I think you're being a bit selfish about having your own space.)

Forgiving someone that hurt you isnt the easiest thing to do, and for some it's impossible. For me personally, I dont think I'll ever forgive my ex-stepdad. He was physically and mentally abusive to both me and my mom. And although its been almost 6 years since we ran away from him, everytime I see him I get so angry. We still spend time with his family because we are all so close, and it's so hard since he's always there. My advice to you would be the same as Torn_Shadow. You should let your mom know how you feel about this. Obviously you're not ready for her to be back in the house with you.
