You are not an awful person if you hate your abuser.
Even if they apologized.
Even if they’re family.
Even if they’re mentally ill
Even if they were abused themselves.
You are allowed to hate them. It does not make you awful.
I know society pushes on us to forgive. To “be the better person.”
I’m here to tell you. They abused you. You’re already the better person regardless of whether you forgive. That’s up to you. It’s not up to anyone else.
Do what you need to do. You’re doing just fine.
Even if they’ve changed from their abusive ways.
Good addition!
Absolutely. Even if the person has genuinely reformed and changed. You don’t owe them anything!
