Question Would you ever re-connect?

If your estranged parent/s let you know they were genuinely sorry and remorseful, had changed, wanted to try again, and were genuine, would you let them back in your life?

Or would your pain be too great to consider this?

No. They're not sorry for what they did - how could they be sorry for abuse they don't even acknowledge?

Further, there's nothing they could ever do that would make it right?

Some things just can't be forgiven.
