Thank you for sharing.
It get so hard to make sense of these things when they happen.
My father was not a good man, and I have learned at least for me I don't need to forgive or forget, I don't need vengeance or justice for what he did in our family because I understand that he was a broken person, that his behaviour is an illness of mind.
I believe that partly because the alternative is believing those behaviours as part of the normal human process.
Thank you for you words, and yes 'an illness of mind' - you are right about that.
Am pleased you know what it is you need and believe, that's a big step in itself. ❤
Best wishes to you!
