I want to forgive my mother for abandoning the family years ago. Yet, the rest of the family is very much opposed to forgiving her. I fear that if I forgive my mother, it will cause conflict in our family. So, should I refrain from forgiving her?
You can forgive your mother from your heart and mind when you are ready. You do not have to proclaim that forgiveness to the rest of your family if it will cause conflict. If you see that others eventually are softening their hearts toward your mother, then you might gently begin a conversation about your own forgiveness journey toward your mother.
