Some people spend decades waiting for apologies from parents who aren't sorry - waiting for them to see the pain they caused, to take responsibility, or to finally say the words they needed to hear as a child. But some parents never apologize, not because you're undeserving of one, but because they lack the awareness, humility, or courage to face what they've done. Healing comes when you stop waiting for the apology that may never come and start giving yourself the closure, validation, and compassion you always needed.
