I'm somewhere in the middle - I think my headspace / emotions can be described as acceptance.
I absolutely don't forgive my abuser and probably never will, but I doin't wish death on him either. It's more like I've accepted that the abuse happened, I can't change it, and there's no point in being angry about it, because being angry doesn't change anything and, I believe, only hurts myself. I reached this point through extensive trauma therapy.
I also live by the Serenity prayer. I really believe in it, and feel that as long as I try to follow it in life, my life is much calmer and happier.
