Gill...when we forgive...we forgive for us...not the other person...it doesn't condone the actions of the other person nor does it mean we have to have to have them in our lives...what it does is allows us to release the emotional control they have over us...you don't even have to tell the other person if you don't want to...but it heals you from carrying around all the pain...anger and resentments that have been apart of you and your life for so long and be at peace with yourself....
well Gilly...For once, we agree. But he did soooo much more than just beat me. But at least we have some common ground. I will never forgive that animal...he wasn't a man. My user name is a reflection of the derrogatory name he used to call me to insult me. But everytime I see the word Shipoker, I'm reminded anew to continue to hate him

I am sorry Gilly and Ship in an empathetic way for the pain that you have both suffered is evident in what you have both written. Forgiveness as a wise pastor once told me is an act of the will not an emotion. I hope that over time both of you can forgive those men the pain and suffering they have put you through.

I'm sorry that happened to you. The way to win is to break the cycle with your own children. Be a better person than he could ever dream of being. I can see by your posts that you care about people and society so I think you've won.

I am sorry that you have had that experience. My dad was not the best, but I really don't know what you or Gilly have gone through. I just felt a lot of sadness reading both of your comments.

People have their own ways of coping with the pain. If anger serves to easy that pain use it i say how the hell can you forgive someone who should have loved and protected you and why the hell should you

I agree..
I know that forgiveness IS the key with most pain..
But sometimes I just cant see HOW that is possible.
