March 18th is Forgive Mom and Dad Day

Forgive Mom and Dad Day is a day when kids should forgive their parents for any mistakes, harsh words, or abuse inflicted. Parenting is not easy and does not come with an instruction manual. We often parent based on how our parents were. No one has perfect parents. Forgiving is not forgetting. It's important to let go of grudges and bitterness otherwise than can take a toll on current and future relationships. Per MayoClinic.com some benefits of forgiving someone include: "Healthier relationships, greater spiritual and psychological well-being, less anxiety, stress and hostility, lower blood pressure, fewer symptoms of depression, and lower risk of alcohol and substance abuse."
