Hi Hope,
I think that I have forgiven my abusers, but I still have to work through the crap they have done to me. Some times this confuses me, and makes me wonder if I really have forgiven them. Maybe there is a bit of denial about that on my part?
Actually I don't think I have forgiven my step mother now that I got real honest with myself after reading your post. I didn't even realize she was one of my abusers until about six months ago.
I have days where I feel forgiveness toward them, and then something pops up that makes me wonder if I really have forgiven them fully.
I believe I have to take back what I said about forgiving my abusers, because I don't think I have fully forgiven a few of them. Hmmmm?
Peace
