I don't blame you one bit, personally. I know there are people that I could never forgive...I forgave my first abuser because I truly believe it was a curious child thing. But the others are a different story...they were adults.

Not forgiving DOES NOT make you, me, or anyone else a bad person. You know that saying that there's only one person whose job it is to forgive someone don't you? I think about that...that it's God's job, not ours.

I think it's easier to forgive someone when you've completely come to terms with everything...maybe we haven't come to terms with certain people...I don't know. But what I do know is that forgiveness is not necessary for healing.
