Fortunatly, my therapist never even brought that up! But, yeah, I know a lot of Christians are quick to just say, "Oh, forgive them," but forgiveness has its place. I am a beliver, but I no longer go to church, partly because that forgiveness thing is way over-rated in the church. I see the church constantly reaching out to abusers, and rotten people who don't want to change--but the victims are ignored. We are deemed "unforgiving" if we don't act like what happened was no big deal.
