Goodness, I have journaled similar stories, and when I tried, as a child, to tell adults I felt I could trust, I was not believed. When she attempted to take my son from the school playground, and ran my daughter down in a parking lot, that was the end for me trying to have a relationship with her, as I chose to protect my children. Give yourself a hug, and thank-you for sharing.

Forgiveness is much more difficult when the harm was intentional and the abuser doesn’t have the courage to own up to their abuse. I ask the Lord to help me with this each time a hurtful memory springs to mind. I so sympathize with all of you
