“When I confronted my parents, they didn’t deny it, [and] claimed they were trying to ‘keep the peace’ and believed he was ‘just making mistakes’ and would change,” she recalled.
“They thought it was best for me to stay with him because he came from a wealthy family and could provide stability.”
Her parents also mentioned she hoped she would marry her ex-boyfriend, thinking marriage would solve their issues.
She was so hurt by her parents’ actions and the way they put her ex-boyfriend’s feelings over hers. Not long after learning all of this, she decided to cut off her parents and hasn’t spoken to them since.
Unfortunately, her siblings haven’t been very empathetic and are angry with her, claiming their parents only ever had her best interests at heart.
Things only got worse when her parents invited her and her ex to a family gathering, telling her they wanted them to work things out.
“This made me realize they still don’t understand the depth of their betrayal,” she added.
“They even suggested I give him another chance because he’s ‘changed’ and is ready to commit.”
She has continued to cease contact with her parents, and her family is divided because of this. Although her parents have tried apologizing several times, she doesn’t think she’ll be able to forgive them for a long time.
Should she consider forgiving her parents, or were their actions unforgivable?
