"It seems we are a pretty rigid lot." Do you mean many abused kids?
No. I meant that it takes death or breakdown sometimes to change things. It could be said that people who are abused can be rigid in not being able to let go, but that is not what I meant.
More the other way. A breakdown in someone enables them to see things from a different point of view. In my case this meant my mother reached out to me, which was all I needed.
Oh dear, your situation is so different. I wouldn't presume to tell you how to feel or when to forgive, which, in any case, comes in its own time.
