Study Forgiveness – To heal your wounds, not to erase or condone their actions, rather to detach the emotional charge from the offenses, so these events do not control your feelings or life. Heal the PTSD and live the life you deserve. Be a SurThriver.

To forgive or not forgive, that is the question. Victims of abuse have been hurt in so many ways it makes it hard to forgive. Holding the injury bonds us to the abuser, forgiving makes you stronger and sets you free of that hurt.

To my abuser, you suck...that's sad...but you didn't break me. I forgive and release you from my memories. Be gone!

I must admit I found forgiveness a hard pill to swallow. I never really liked people telling me to forgive my abuser. I finally get it, forgiveness removes the negative energy this unforgiveness brings. Forgiveness shoes unconditional love for ourselves.

Forgiveness is not at all about them. They will pay the price for their own choices. Forgiveness releases the hurt inside of you and stops the hurt from stealing tomorrow.

Forgiveness is the meaning of grace. Grace to love yourself enough to be willing to put your trust in releasing the pain attached to whatever messed up stuff happened to you. This is for you, not them.
