Forgiveness
In my book the mother finds out that the baby she is expecting (Carl Joseph) had Down Syndrome and so her husband got angry and embarressed and left her to raise and provide for both Cody and Carl Joseph and then he came back 17 years later and said he loved Cody and his mother and was proud to call Carl Joseph his son. If this was your family, could you forgive your father?

Definately not, I have a hard time forgiving little things that there is no way that I could ever forgive something so big! He messed up so badly. I understand that he is wanting forgivesness, but how would I know he won't do that to our family again? He was able to run away for 17 years, he would easily run away again when times got hard. I would not talk to him or be in the same room as him or anything if he were allowed back in my home. I don't think he should be allowed back in the house. how rude! that makes me mad to just think about. lol
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about this one. When it came down to it I would probably forgive him because he realized what he did was wrong and wanted to fix things. But that wouldn't change what he had done to me and my family. It would be really hard to have a realtionship with him because I wouldn't be able to trust him and I would expect for him to leave again. Another factor would be if my mother had gotten remarried or not. If she had found someone who loved are family for the way it was and took care of us and helped raise us then I probably would not want my father back in my life. It would just cause to many problems and pain for everyone. I would still forgive him but it would be a big decision to let him back into my life.
ReplyDeleteThere was something like this on the Tyra Show! lol. If this was my father, it would definitely be hard to let him back into my life. Walking out on your family and a child with down syndrome is completely awful. Of course I would forgive him, we're supposed to forgive, but as far as being apart of the family again...let's just say I wouldn't be the one running to the door to welcome him in. lol. He would probably have to prove that he has changed and is truly sorry to earn back my trust.
ReplyDeleteI might forgive him when he is on his death bed but besides then no. I woud refuse to forgive a man that allowed my mother to have to try to support two children single handedly. Just because a child has something wrong with them does not give you an excuse to leave. In act it makes it worse that you left in the firt place.
