My biological mother abandoned me & 2 of my brothers over 50 years ago. It's easy to forgive, but forget?
Answer:
Mine did too, forgive, no. Forget, NEVER!
No you will never forget...unless you undergo electric shock therapy....
You can forgive.
I don't think you should try to forget...don't you think that what she did has, in part, made you who you are...for better or worse? You probably found strength that you never knew you had, and hopefully, you were able to lean on each other...and I'm certain there were some bad things that happened as a result...certainly the sadness, grief and rejection.
I don't think you should forget it. I think it's great that you have forgiven...but forget?? No.
My 2 other sibs ,we are all adopted at birth.For us personally it wasn't a factor.Because at birth you don't know.I'm 49,I should
look up my natural Parents for Medical reasons.By a Court Judges order that I have to apply to.
try to forget.......Do not Put grudge on her....
Why try to forget? It is a part of your history and that is always important, it's what makes you who you are.
Forgiving is good. It allows you to go forward and not live in the past.
No, you never will forget. If you find it in your heart to forgive, you are on the right track.
I don't think you should forget. Thats your past and you just have to accept it. So just forgive her but don't let the past stay in the way of your future.
Why forget? People misunderstand forget as a term. Yes you need to forgive. There is no reason you shouldn't. Do you know WHY she "abandoned" you? Actually doesn't sound like you totally forgave. You are only giving your side. I can't judge her without knowing her side.
I don't think anything that has a profound effect on our lives can be forgotten. Forgiveness is difficult sometimes but it is important for you more so than the person being forgiven. I wish you well.l
The queston is are you feeling true forgiveness? If remembering means holding onto past resentments, then you truly have not forgiven.
U.S.Veteran Is this your story?

it's obvious to me that whoever raised you did a great job.
Your question is sad but shows a lot of sensitivity.
I'm sure you were taught to forgive.....and you must forget before\
you get mentally ill.....with this obsession...
You may not know all the facts why your mom abandoned you.
Maybe she felt you and your siblings had a better chance in life
without her.......
Try to forget and move forward, althought I know it's easier
said than done.
