It's messy and uncomfortable and raw...but so necessary. Keep in mind that forgiving someone doesn't mean that you are condoning their actions...just that you're giving yourself permission to move forward and permission to heal.Thanks to you *and* Ana for that reminder.

If you wait for your father to acknowledge his role in your pain, you might be waiting forever to forgive and move forward. Forgiveness does not mean you absolve someone of their responsibility. But without forgiveness, we can't move forward onto better things. And for as hard as it is, you wind up wishing it were that easy.
