[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was sexually abused by my stepfather. He never repented and my mother (who knew) prefers to think of it as "ancient history." I am not religious, but I made a conscious decision in my 20s to forgive him and her. It was more like releasing them from my mind and my heart, because holding onto the memory and the pain was harming only me. I never said anything to them. For me, the forgiveness was about me, not them.[/quote] OP - I am also very sorry you experienced this terrible betrayal and abuse as a youth. I am glad you found a way to deal with it that helps you to heal. If it were me, I would have been as angry with my mother as step father. I never experienced this but can imagine that it was painful on so many levels. I am happy for you were able to forgive them and let go of this memory. [/quote]
