tonight i went out for the first time in a year. i knew many of my old classmates would be home for thanksgiving. i havnt seen most of them since high school. i had a great time. i had my one drink talked with many of them and went home.
one of my classmates sexually started abusing me in grade school and continued through out high school. i went up to him and started talking with him. asked him about his kids, what he was dong now, stuff like that. by the end of our conversation he appologized for what he did to me. he said he felt really bad about it and it has haunted him for the last 15 years. i told him i accepted his appology. it felt good to hear him apologize for what he did. and it felt good to forgive. i hope this is the first step to be able to forgive my ex for the abuse. but i know my ex isnt sorry for what he has done. this makes my heart full knowing that people can have remorse and can change.

I think it is wonderful you can allow yourself to forgive. Many of us/myself hold resentment which makes us unable to move on. Thanks for sharing.

….The difference between him and most abusers is that apology ,most will never even admit it was abuse never loan say sorry .So that makes real forgiveness imposable since they can and do still offend .They need to actually stop abuse (us getting out of the way is not the same as their stopping) and since they don’t even think they are doing anything wrong how can they...I am happy you got this but don’t feel you now have to forgive every one ,only if they ask and deserve it...

Hey. I am glad you got some closure from your ex, an apology is what many deserve but will never receive. I wish you all the luck in the world.
