Dawson McAllister explains to her what happens if she doesn't forgive her mom:
"If you don’t learn how to forgive her, she will be forever controlling you, forever abusing you, she will always be on your mind and your feelings will turn to the toxic. And then you become a different person, you become a bitter, angry, hostile person which will affect who you marry and it’ll affect your kids, it’ll be passed on to the next generation.
We’re not forgiving her for her sake. She may never accept you forgiving her. You forgive her because it’s the right thing to do and what it will do for you. Forgiving her takes away your right to get even, which takes away the toxic poison."
