Someone that sexually abused me for many years in childhood apologized for it.I wasn't able to accept it though and the person got mad at me.But the way they said it was like when you accidentally bump into someone out in public and then say "oh,sorry" and then keep walking.

I don't understand how this person could even expect me to just accept their apology and let it go,never talk about it or think about it again.I was expected to act as if it never happened and I just can't do that.

All I wanted was to be able to talk about it,ask some questions,try to understand what happened to me and why.All I got was "people make mistakes" and "I already said I was sorry but that wasn't good enough for you".

Of course it wasn't good enough!Has anyone ever accepted an apology,forgiven and allowed the abuser in their life?
