I am with you in that neither parent 'live rent free in my head'. Also like you, I am not seeing the 'forgiving' thing happening. Sure, it is soul -eating. Sure, it can darken anyone'e demeanor and make them sallow and bitter. But, there was just too much manipulation. Too much favoritism. Too much misdirection to get what they wanted.
That is what I am trying to work on. But, this is a deep pit and it is dark... I don't like it but climbing out just feels like betrayal of what I swore to do when I finally was released from the mind games and manipulation.
Ya know?
