No. You don’t have to forgive your abuser.

No. You don’t have to forgive your abuser. | Annie Wright, LLC | Berkeley, CA | www.anniewright.com

Today, as part of my maternity leave letters from the archive series, I want to share with you one of my articles which, in addition to getting an unusually large amount of shares on social media when it was originally posted, generated quite a powerful conversation in the comments on the blog.

For some, it’s a provocative stance – asserting the opinion that you don’t need or have to forgive someone if you’re not ready to – and so I wonder what you’ll think about once you’ve read it?

If you feel so inclined, please leave me a message in the comments on the blog to let me know.
