It would be much more manageable to say I want to have an ongoing relationship with the people who were misguided and hurt me through ignorance.
Sometimes our assessments change or adjust so as to make it easier to say what we want to say.

Hugs, Bill.
I had to make it very straight in my own mind that all I was doing was not let it consume me any more. I did NOT forget and never will. They are still 100% responsible for the things they did and didn't do. I will not ever minimize the events or feelings. I will never pretend it was ok. But in order for me to be ok today, I had to let it go. I believe in a higher power and I'll leave it to Him to repay them for their deeds.
BUT if you or others feel it is in your best interest to not associate with your abusers, that is fine too. You have to put yourself first. If that means staying away, then do it.
