    Starved

    It’s okay to hate her
    To hate them both
    Death will not excuse bad parenting
    But one day I promise you
    The shards of their broken promises
    The Bricks of grief that hold you back
    And drown you in fear
    Are what build the foundation of your forever
    So again yes
    It’s okay to hate her
    To hate them both because one day
    I promise you’ll learn to let go

      Kayla, you are so right that death does not excuse bad parenting. It also doesn’t excuse other bad behavior. Many of us feel as if we need to honor people after their deaths even when they didn’t honor us in their lives. So yes, it is absolutely OKAY for you to feel whatever you feel about your parents. Thank you for sharing your story!
