Same. It's hard to forgive somebody who's abuse was so integral in destroying huge chunks of your identity especially when they've spent your whole life making you feel like you're the problem.
Even knowing how your abuse spawned from what might be an even worse childhood. I can understand it, but I won't really ever forgive it. I shouldn't have to. Every single time the forgiveness tends to be exploited by people that will keep abusing you.
Even if some profound change happens in their life. Cool for them but I'm not going to free them from the repercussions of their actions.
