Sorry for your struggles. It's awful what your father did and wonderful that you have forgiven him. That alone brings you some peace and healing to you. I've forgiven lots of people, but not everyone yet. Including myself. Continued healing.

 I need comforting words..... and yes, forgiving my father is a huge step towards healing. I found that it's really hard to forgive sometimes, especially when the harm is SO great and immense, but I also found that ultimately, forgiveness of another is best for one's own soul and spirit -- that it frees a person of the anger and rage that is held deeply within, perhaps for years and perhaps for a lifetime. I forgave my father for being such a broken person that he had to do such a horrible thing. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
