I will not hurt them intentionally but I will not stretch my hand to help them either.

Maybe I am a bad person to feel and think like this. If I am, then, that's who I am.
In total agreement with you...
I do not think of myself as a bad person, either.

I think forgiveness is over rated in many ways. We usually do the acceptance thing of what has happened to us...and that is a huge step on this journey of healing. We do the best we can each step of the way.

Forgiveness is between my abusers and their god...

My feelings on this are quite the opposite of what most people want or need to believe about forgiveness.
I best be quiet.
