Yeah, I'm the home wrecker in my family of origin. Because I dared attend adult children of alcoholics for one thing, and dared to talk about what happened in our family for another.

I would like to get to the point where I can forgive the people in my life who have caused me the most pain (mostly family members), but I don't see any reason to forgive the stranger who molested me. I'm not even sure what that would mean.
