Exactly. Most religions demand forgiveness from the abused, without demanding restitution (or apology) from the abuser. It's not healthy. You should not forgive people who are not sorry. They will just keep doing it. I have been told that I can't "find peace" until I forgive my abuser(s), but that's not true. I feel peaceful right now, and I do not forgive people unless they deserve it.

I also don't even believe people who claim to have "forgiven" their abusers. I think they're just saying that because it makes them sound like a better person.
Thanks for this!
