The one person who I could confront who abused me (that is still alive, or who I haven't already confronted) would undoubtedly deny what happened and would then proceed to trash talk me to everyone in the area. He's a vindictive man. I will never confront him. He actually is my neighbor.
I do think for some people though that this is a way to confront the past and help with healing. I just isn't going to work for me because of my particular situation.
