Forgiveness
I don't forgive.
My childhood was a living hell and I don't forgive the perpetrators. ️
Nothing is insurmountable. You can find help to over come your history. Forgiveness is not the same as accepting something as having been ok. Nor does it mean one can expect to experience contrition from the offending party.
It is finding the courage to move beyond blame and accepting new experiences on their own terms, letting everyone off the hook and walking away with a peaceful heart if need be.
It is moving on from the past to more fully embrace the present and hope ardently for the future! Forgive everyone and let it go. Move on!
Forgiveness is, above all, the knowing that we are, each of us, are responsible for our own feelings and the ways we respond to reality. that is the only thing we really have any real control over.
