Asking Eric: Why Is Family Pushing Me to ‘Forgive and Forget’ 2 Sisters’ Many Crimes?
HOUSTON COUNTY, ALABAMA, JUL 16 – The narrator faces family pressure to ignore sisters' crimes including human trafficking and elder neglect despite no remorse or apology from them, risking personal boundaries and mental health.
- Recently, the extended family pressured the narrator to forgive and forget, despite no apologies or remorse from the sisters involved.
- During caregiving, the narrator revealed that one sister went to prison for human trafficking, and another sister neglected their father by withholding medication and misusing his credit cards.
- That sister showed no remorse and defended her actions, while the narrator was cast as the villain for refusing reconciliation.
- Putting up a boundary protects the narrator's wellbeing and children, and `you can, and should, put a boundary up for your own health and safety`, R. Eric Thomas advised.
- The family's push to ignore wrongdoing suggests turning a blind eye is like covering rotted floorboards with a throw rug.
