Forgiving My Abusive Dad

[tinytherese]

I've felt so paralized in my life in so many ways and I need to bring myself to at least starting that long and difficult process. Its hard starting it. A part of me wants to resist, but I need to in order to heal. I feel as if I still don't understand what forgiving really is. I'm stuck in the misconceptions about it. My mom is having a hard time dealing with my dad. She separated from him for my sake and wants to keep my little brother and I safe. Dad still hasn't honored my wish of not being contacted by him at the moment. He thinks that he can explain himself and that that will make everything all better.
