    SaLtINeI don't think it's that simple to say we can forgive and forget because if we really did...we wouldn't carry the baggage around for so many years and let it eat at us and cause the pain that it can.When we're chidren we can't do much to defend ourselves and so many people can take advantage of that.When we become adults...we can defend ourselves and we never again have to let anyone hurt us in the ways that they did when we were a child.I think we have to finally accept what happened to us as children and then forgive.We never have to like it but in order to move on...we do have to accept and forgive.Only then can we begin to heal.I remember when I was told that I had to accept and really truly forgive.I really didn't like that idea at all...to have to forgive those who hurt me as a child.It made me feel so much better to know that I didn't have to like it.We're not doing it for them...we're doing it for us!

    One more thing...if you forget who you are...you can just be a better version...stronger...happier and someone that your glad to know!
