Ignoring a parent or child is about the most painful thing to go through and I've buried a child. It's alot worse because you know they have a choice and they choose to shun you as if you are dead. I imagine the same feelings go for parents. I've been shunned by my parents all my life, as the scapegoat. It's a hard road to return love but I found that forgiving doesn't mean forgetting but offering yourself to them and reminding them they gave birth to you and it's their choice if they turn away from it. If they do, God is your Father anyway that will NEVER ignore or reject you. My family some of them live very close and have nothing to do with me, pointing fingers and blaming me for their infidelities and such. I had to let that blame to go. They have to find another scapegoat for their own problems. As my own parent said to me, he loved me alot and still does, he just didn't know how to respond. I think some parents are not equipped with the know how and will not leave their isolated comfort zone which is a shame. Then there are those that are actually jealous of you and do anything possible to interfere and cause total rejection. I have a parent of that nature too but I try to honor her as much as possible. Her little digs and gaslighting is just a way to show me she has let her jealousy override her maternal love. It's really hard. I hope your situation improves with time. If you have wrote him or communicated how he makes you feel with his behavior, and he doesn't respond at all, that's all you can do. It's their loss, because you deserve much more.Jennifer Ann Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827866781697673269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115690087140850973.post-80811975591123459622013-11-13T09:43:59.507-05:002013-11-13T09:43:59.507-05:00I keep rereading "A parents love never goes a...I keep rereading "A parents love never goes away." I just don't know. My father lived in the same county as us his whole life. For his last 20+ years he never gave us love. He just ignored us.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01601483236926246196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115690087140850973.post-34752218016602607112013-11-12T19:22:20.470-05:002013-11-12T19:22:20.470-05:00Lovely thought provoking post, Jennifer.Lovely thought provoking post, Jennifer.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929920771003768745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115690087140850973.post-4051567179982278992013-11-12T19:07:31.235-05:002013-11-12T19:07:31.235-05:00Tears running down my face right now...tears of ad...Tears running down my face right now...tears of admiration for your strength,purpose,love,hope and understanding.
