In my healing I have found the only way through the “forgiveness“ process with abuse is to take responsibility for putting myself in these situations to become who I am. It doesn’t matter that I was a child... I chose that family, this time, this life to be me. It has taken me 40 years to realize that traditional forgiveness is not for everyone. My abuser made choices, he can fend for himself as far as his responsibility goes. I am who I am because of all of it and I wouldn’t want to be anyone else. Thank you for the podcast, I shared it far and wide.
What a wonderful realization to share. This path isn't for everyone, but it can truly be life changing when we adopt the mindset. I love that you view your whole life through this lense now. Even when we come from very hard situations. There isn't anything we can't endure and grow from when we bring this perspective. Thank you for sharing your story :)
