Moments #42 - How Motherhood Taught Me to Forgive — Myself, My Children and the People I Love - Tiffany Scott (Sanya)

My 5 year old son threw something and broke it.He apologised. And a few days later I almost brought it up again but stopped myself.Because his apology was meant to close the matter. And dragging it back out wouldn't have been self protection. It would have been punishment.That moment changed how I think about forgiveness entirely.In this episode:→ The incident: what happened, what I almost did, and what stopped me→ What motherhood teaches us about forgiveness - how raising children turns it from a grand gesture into a quiet daily choice→ The wider application: friendships, relationships, and ourselves - the difference between forgetting and forgiving, between keeping score and choosing the relationship→ Modelling forgiveness: my son is sensitive and hard on himself - what I show him now about letting things go becomes the voice in his head when he makes his own mistakesFor the mother who wants to love better, hold things more loosely - and raise children who know how to forgive themselves too.
