I had to work my way thru it but I have no regrets.

God help me through it all !
Forgiveness has made all the difference. I can honestly say I have forgiven my mother and a lot of the physical abuse from my earlier childhood. That is not to say I don't have to do this over and over, as I find it is in layers and just when I think I have it licked, something will trigger yet another thing I have to work on and turn over to God.

I know that I choose not to forgive that I will not be able to move forward in my life.

In the process.
First, I had to forgive myself for making a mess of my life and for making such poor choices. "If I had only..." could not remain in my vocabulary. Second, I believe I have completely forgiven my abusers. Forgiving myself and my abusers was not automatic. When I had flashbacks, sometimes I had to start the forgiving process all over again. Over time the flashbacks have lessened as I reach out to help others or become involved with additional constructive pursuits.

It was a struggle to forgive, but a decision I made, and has become easier over time.

I have given my husband my forgiveness, although it is an every day test of my strength and willingness to prove my marriage is important to push my anger and hurt aside and focus on improving our communication and committment.
