I know what I say is controversial. Nonetheless, I have spent a lot of time practicing forgiveness. My abuse was not sexual. So perhaps I have no right to speak.

Even so, the process of forgiving has reduced the anger, bitterness and resentment I have lived with for decades. I still can get pretty worked up. I will always be dysfunctional. I too, however, will never stop trying to prevent another from owning any part of my life.
