Hello Nairalanders

I really wanna know your view on this vital issue:
A young lady came on the radio and recounted how her mother hated her so much as well as her sibling to the point of disowning her as a daughter. Even said to her once that she can still give birth to more children in her womb and ad such she's not fit to be reckoned with as her daughter.
Fast forward 15years later
Said daughter is happily married and doing well
Said mom is back and trying to enter her life by requesting for money.
What will you do if you're in the said daughter's shoes
Will you (1) forgive your mum despite the pain she's caused you?
Or (2) pay her back in equal measure for the pain she's caused you?

I really need honest feedback
I'm of the opinion that she forgive her mum. I'll explain why after I read your feedbacks

It's hard to forgive but harder to forget yet hardest to live with the pains of unforgivenness especially when the other died as a result of our refusal to help.

The Bible admonished us to live in peace with all men insofar as it lies within us.

It's difficult, but who knows if that was your stepping stone/building blocks to greatness.

If she was not doing well would the mother have reached out? She should her but put her at a considerable distance. She should not yield to all her financial but instead send tokens from time to time. Toxic/abusive/deadbeat parents do not deserve to be rewarded at old age. They're the most entitled of parents, always blackmailing their children emotionally.

Treat others the way you want them to treat you....

She can forgive the mother, and equally forget her but the shouldn't be seeing...

Seeing someone who caused you bad, make anger to boil within the victim...

If not for the daughter being successful, The Mother would never check Back On Her .... She wasn't Moved By a Change But By Instincts of Hunger & Solution(My Daughter) .... Once She is Belleful, She Would Go Maniac Again ... That's When I would Treat Your Fvckup !

I will Forgive Her Of Course But With Her Attitude Which is Mostly Genetics for some Parents & Hardly Changes Completely.. I would Limit Our Closeness With Each Other & Decimate Her Further So Whatever Negative Energies That's Remnants In her can't Harmed Me in Whatever Guises !
