That is very difficult, at least the forgiveness part of it, for me. And I'm not so sure I have to forgive because, in the first place, my perpetrator didn't ask for forgiveness, in fact, my perpetrator won't admit to anything. So how does one forgive someone when that someone hasn't asked for forgiveness? Also, am I forgiving the "who" or the "what"?
