The letter discusses a person's struggle with reconciling a painful past marked by mental illness, infidelity, and strained family relationships. After recovering from psychosis, the individual expresses deep regret over choices made, including abandonment of their child, which has led to lingering issues in their relationship with their daughter. Despite their efforts and therapy, the daughter’s refusal to invite them to her wedding signifies ongoing trust challenges. The response emphasizes the importance of continuing therapy for guidance and recognizes the difficulty of mending broken family bonds after betrayal.
I snapped out of it 15 years ago with the help of a good psychiatrist and excellent medication.
I have made every effort to change things. However, my relationship with my daughter has never recovered in spite of my apologies, sorrow and deep shame.
I know I can't force her to forgive me, but banning me from her wedding brings me to tears every time I think of it.
Your therapist is the most qualified to help you traverse the bumpy path ahead.
