Just a question, because that's my experience. |
Absolutely, Poiuytl ... Absolutely!
I also think it's possible that some bullies and abusers do come to realize the things they've done are wrong and are actually truly sorry for the harm it's caused.
It doesn't undo the past, but it is nice to know they are at least trying to be a better human being in the here and now.
I think this may be where that thing about grace comes in, but I struggle with believing in all that because my abusers completely wiped all that out for me.
