I have accepted an apology, though. Accepted and forgave because there was no question in my mind that she meant it. It wasn't just an 'I'm so sorry'. Before she even said it, she changed. She changed so much that I can't even call her the same person. She worked non-stop to be better. It was after that she came to me and described in detail, the things she did, how they were wrong and apologized. Honestly, I don't regret forgiving her because she hasn't let me down. I love my mom.

That's what I wanted from that abuser,a genuine apology and to feel like they were truly remorseful and honestly working to change their self.To admit exactly what was wrong about how they abused me,I wanted to hear "what I did was wrong and not your fault".
I would eventually like to forgive though,for myself,so I can let go of all the hurt and anger from it.
