Well, I’m very glad you found this and found it helpful. Forgiveness can be very difficult to get to, and I think the reason is that we’re afraid that forgiving somehow trivializes the suffering we went through. But in the end, you can choose to glorify your pain and indulge in self pity, or you can forgive and find inner peace. It really is a choice. Little by little, you’ll get there, and never look back. Best of luck!

This helped me very much tonight. I still don’t know how to be in the same room with her and to not remember the abuse.

I really want to let this go… I really want to free myself of this weight.
Thanks for your encouraging words…

[...] They say personal change is difficult and can take years. I say fooee. Change is easy and can seconds! All it takes is a change in your attitude and perspect towards those essential things that determine how you live your life. If you have trouble getting to class on time, or at all sometimes (this never happens to me , it’s simply because you don’t think being to class on time is important enough. If you did, unless you have some serious mental deficiency that prevents you from being able to read clocks, you wouldn’t have any problem. This applies to everything in life. Change your values, change your life. [...]
