Can’t forgive her and I’m grateful I finally realized why via /r/gratitude

I’ve been struggling with why I can’t seem to forgive my mom for things that happened to me while I was growing up. It hit me yesterday though. I know she was doing the best she could with what she had. I know she was learning how to be a mom at the same time that she was raising me. I can’t forgive her because I can’t blame her. I am who I am because of her and I’m grateful for who I’ve become.
