Rejection from a parent is perhaps the deepest and most enduring emotional wound a child can suffer.
For those rejected by their mother, the pain is compounded by the sense of being cheated and robbed of something innately sacred. It’s a silent, simmering ache that can leave a person in an altered emotional state. If not properly addressed, this wound can become destructive—not only to the person who was rejected but also to those they attempt to love. Without professional help and divine healing, one may spend an entire lifetime trying to overcome the hurt. I sought both, and over time, I found relief from the ache and a sense of normalcy. Today, I can honestly say that I hold no ill will toward my mother. There’s no longer hidden anger or deeply rooted bitterness. My inner child is at peace. I am whole, by the divine grace of God and the support of professional counseling. You can find healing too—if you truly want it.
