MC Lyte Reveals Her Father Was the Hardest Person She Had to Forgive

Preach it Aunty Lonnie, companies never have loyalty for their workers.

[@MajesticMyronn]

Ooo Garcelle took the words out of my mouth !! Forgiveness towards oneself is the hardest because we don’t realize that we have parts of ourself that we don’t recognize or have come yet to master or be truly in touch with ! And when things happen where we’re not in the best light… let’s say a situation where you fall out with a friend over something and you’re stubborn and feel like you’re right int be moment ! But then days , weeks , maybe even months go by and you regret making the decision to leave without having closure or things were said that shouldn’t have been ! And because you feel guilty of how you behaved in that instance you become hard on yourself! When I tell you God has a way of allowing your heart and mind to be open when you come to the realization and are able to have emotional intelligence and put pride aside to not only apologize to yourself but love on yourself and give yourself grace and also OWN your part and your wrongdoing ! Forgiveness to one’s self is the hardest for many people no matter the situation

[@marycampbell3114]

I forgave and apologized and when they didn't apologize to me I felt worse like eff them! I then had to forgive them anyway and that ish was very hard and I still don't like them.

This happened at my husband’s job, it was so devastating to the employees who had been there ! My husband who is an excellent worker, was also fired years after this happened! His bosses were crying after firing him, he understood and he actually knew it was coming. Thank God for severance pay!

[@singmelullabies]

i have a hard time forgiving my dad as well for the way he treated my mom.. i've developed a lot of trauma and trust issues because of him

[@thatbemefool]

Don’t forget to forgive your Mom for subjecting you to that. My friends parents were married 50+ years. Her father was an alcoholic and had tons of outside children. Her Mom prayed every day for the Lord to deliver him. She was totally blinded by religion and love. She died of a massive heart attack and her Daddy married his long time girlfriend immediately after. When she expressed her disdain for her Daddy, I said your Mother chose to stay and remained married to him until she passed….long after you left home. SHE LOVED HIM AS HER HUSBAND. Him being your Daddy is a whole nother relationship. Daddy/Husband 2 separate roles.

Wow, Loni!! I didn't think of there being counseling services offered by soon-to-be former employers for fired employees. That's something I wish to implement into my future practices. There's a lot of grievance and mental health that is compromised after being fired, and I loved that you advised employers to encourage their employees that there is still light at the end of the tunnel. Case in point, the husband who committed suicide. But unfortunately, far too many employers are selfish and uncompassionate😥🥺

[@Den3girl]

I grew up with both my parents and everytime I hear people talk about a parent not being there for them when they were children, I always think I couldn't forgive it, personally. Granted, I have never had the experience or know the need someone may have for a parent missed. But to not be there when I needed you most, I can't imagine how I would ever as an adult put that behind me.

[@marycampbell3114]

It makes me angry when a parent isn't there for child but then want a relationship when child is grown.

[@rhondadbush]

I agree but others think I somehow owe him when he never felt as if he owed me. I chose to move forward with my life and not entertain the opportunity for him to not be available again.

[@marycampbell3114]

As an adult who has been in pain because if a absent parent we are quick to forgive so we can stop the bleeding. The parent never deserves it tho.

[@mimilashawn1046]

You forgive because you want peace and to grow. TD Jakes as a quote about forgiveness “ I think the first step is to understand that forgiveness does not exonerate the perpetrator. Forgiveness liberates the victim. It’s a gift you give yourself”. Don’t black your blessings holding on the grief, anger, animosity, hatred. And remember others are people too. And no one is exempt from hurting someone else and needing them to forgive you.

The corporations should be sued, and I hope the people win. These companies sell you this evil scheme of working until you are too old to work, then cut you off just before you can collect retirement. So, what was that money put aside for? It should be illegal. That man felt so hopeless that he took his life at 57. Company loyalty is the real dinosaur in need of extinction. Put yourself first before they put you last.

[@lydiafischer9005]

Such an interesting topic. Forgiving starts with forgiving self and accepting whatever happen or even if things don't change you'll do just fine. I believe every act mirrors relationship with actualization toward how clear things are realized through a mental process and the quicker accountability about decisions are taken the better people are able to let go

[@orlenecharles6590]

[@hazybrneyesmd5771]

To tag onto the ladies, I believe that “forgiveness of self” speaks to ones character. It’s good to forgive others but we can consciously and unconsciously hold ourselves to a higher standard in this journey of life and a consistent practice to be a better person tomorrow than you were today. It can more so than not speak to who you are as a person and how you accept accountability.

[@ForeverGodsGirl03]

The reality is is that Mc Lyte's daddy wanted her momma back and since the momma didn't want him then he didn't see a need to force the relationship with Mc Lyte

[@ForeverGodsGirl03]

@@izealliaeldridge1901 we kinda are saying the same thing. If your daddy will only see you with your mother around then he had more interest in building something with her momma than he did his daughter. We really have to call it what it is. Some men will only have relationships with their children if they can get something from the children's mother. If momma ain't around then they see no need for to have to be around their child. It's sad but it happens so often which isn't right.

[@msfullroller]

I agree 100 with what you said here and in your reply. In my opinion, if the biological parent doesn't need to to have a relationship with their child that has done nothing wrong and is not the product of something heinous, there's no excuse for that. Period. And if the child decided NOT to have a relationship with the father as a result of finding out that the parent only wanted a relationship with the other parent, then folks need to keep they trap shut about that. Forgiving does not equate to a relationship moving forward or having any further relationship at all, as if nothing happened and there's been no repense. Now I can't help wondering if he is relating to her because she's his daughter or is it because she's MC Lyte, who happens to be his daughter?

I’m so glad that Lyte told this truth. That was the precise situation with my ex-husband. From the moment I made the hard-thought, yet necessary decision to exit the abuse, I KNEW that I’d never return. He however decided, no she, no me. Sadly, my exit was five years past it’s “best by” expiration. Unfortunately, it took him another 10+ years to catch up. Because of ego and hurt feelings, this generally meant for our three seeds, that despite continued promises, commitments were consistently made and rarely honored. It’s a blessing that Lyte was able to forgive her father and build a genuine relationship. Praying for the same healings and blessings, someday soon for my seeds.
