      Tbh I agree in a way, but I also remember that they're humans that have been conditioned this way, were raised by the same standards too, and sometimes (in the case of my Mom), they learn to look back on their actions with regret. I've forgiven my Mom for her past actions to me. https://twitter.com/ataligxangel99/status/1276499291771564035 …pic.twitter.com/reR4C4nJqe

      My Mom physically and verbally abused us, because it was a cycle she had been through. She and her siblings were abused to the extreme to the point where they were in the news. This doesn't excuse her actions to me and my sisters, but it puts the abuse into perspective for us.

      It's very personal but I hope that some others on here can see that the adversity you grow up around and learn to live with also contributes to your persona, and can make you strong (to a point), and a better person. My Mom sent this to us 5 years after we all left home.

      I'm not saying everyone can be so forgiving as me, nor will all "toxic" Chamorro parents be able to see the error of their ways like my Mom. But if you burn that bridge, you will never give them that chance at forgiveness and learning. That is for sure.

      And when you choose not to forgive you harbor that anger and it only hurts yourself in the long run. It's soo healing to forgive yourself, too and nurture your inner child regardless of what our abusers or parents did to us 💞

      Yes exactly! Self-care and self-love is something that many older Chamorros really don't understand or have never had the privilege to learn or practice. We need to consider that when thinking of their actions toward us.

          Yes I've been having a lot of conversations with my friends about our parents, and a lot of them have a similar understanding about the environments our parents were raised in and the tools to understand and heal not really being something they had access to.

          All we can really do is have compassion for them and learn what we can from them in order to heal. When we heal we do so in our lines forward and back, so even the self work we do is important for them too
