Forgiveness can be a scary concept. I was afraid to forgive my abusers, because to me forgiving meant that I could be hurt again. At the time, I was right. My attempts at forced forgiveness left me open to re-injury. I hadn't healed enough to protect myself.
The pressure I felt to forgive my abusers left me frozen in painful limbo - unable to heal or authentically forgive.
The day came when I reached the end of my endurance. I decided not to forgive and my life changed forever!
The decision I made to place my own well-being first, and to nurse myself back to emotional health, sent me on a healing journey that eventually freed me to forgive.
