Did Dave Pelzer forgive his mother?

Question

I have read the first two books, but was wondering if he ever forgave his mum, did she apologise to him? Is she alive?

Answer 1

WHO IS HE??

Answer 2

He did and she isn't:

"You know, after all what his alcoholic Mother had done to him in the past, he still forgave her. Why? For the simple fact that he didn't want to be like her. Forgiveness was the only way he could break the chain. He could have easily hated her and treated her with the contempt she deserved. He could have easily murdered her and put her through hell. But he chose to forgive. He won't put his son through what he went through. Hatred eats you up inside. It tears you apart. It makes you into a hateful, bitter and twisted person. He didn't want to be like that. He didn't want to be like his mum. So he forgave. It was the only way to break the mold.

Dave is now happily married to his second wife, Marsha. He has won awards and appeared to talk shows. He's a brave man and deserves all the luck in the world. He's mother is now dead. He has a wonderful relationship with his son."

Answer 3

Actually, I don't know. Like you, I read A Child Called It and The Lost Boy, but for some reason I've never read A Man Named Dave. I don't know how good the article is, but you could check the Wikipedia article (link below).

God bless.
