when i was 2 years old i was put into a tub of hot water.burned over 70%of my body.taken from mother and put in foster home.stayed there for 16 years. my foster mother and real mother were friends so evry once in a while i would visit with my mother.when i was 25 i recieved police and medical reports which clearly prove that my real mother lied to the doctors and police-about what had happened. she had always told me that her boyfriend put me in the tub and that he threantened to killherif she had told.she told the police that i had been given a bath a short time earlier and had craweled back into the tub. rtable with trusnow she is living with me and i love her,but i want to stop expecting an apology.and just love her like a daughter should love her mother. she is mildly mentally retarded,so that is something that took years to even consider for the choice that she made of telling what happened. i know that she loves me and nnow she needs.

The truth is that you yourself will have to find a way to do what you want. My daughter was molested by my father-in-law. He went to prison for a short time. She forgave him, before he even went to trial. My father-in-law went to prison, because I didn't drop the issue. He was let out in about 100 days, because my daughter thought that was enough. He never apologized and died. My daughter still loved him until his dying days. She expected nothing from him and so all was well with her. You know the whole story and you must decide what you can live with and just let it be from there. Good luck and God bless!

I am sooo sorry. I have a younger friend, and his mother did the same thing to him. His arms and legs are scarred, and he even had skin graphs to allow the skin to grow as he got older. The mom still (don't know how) had custody of him. He is a great person, talented and sweet. I can barely look at her. But I do know letting the anger go will only help you. It isn't doing her a favor it is doing yourself one.

Yes you can, but.......you need help doing it. I suggest that you contact Dr. Phil and tell him your story. You can hire a Psychologist, but they cost money. If you have health insurance, they may pay for therapy. Dr. Phil can help. You can't do this on your own.
In addition......Ask God to help. Lay this whole situation at the feet of Jesus and His Cross. God will heal you and your heart.
God Bless you. You have been through so much.
