I just finished reading it.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'm so sorry to say, that so women share the common of having been molested as a child.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I believe that the sexual abuse leads so many of us (including myself) to abusive relationships - whether it's verbal, physical, emotional, psychological.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It is so brave and refreshing to have your take being about forgiveness.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In my Christian upbringing - forgiveness was a logical step. However, it took me many years that I had forgotten a very important step in forgiveness.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;That step was forgiving myself. Forgiving myself for any part I took in perpetuating the emotional abuse. Forgiving myself for tolerating inappropriate behavior. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Stopping the self critical inner voice and learning to love me for who I am.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks again, Kim for sharing.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Vivien</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6215435137163197514/3986936164733347595/comments/default/5221038752798398632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6215435137163197514/3986936164733347595/comments/default/5221038752798398632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://creatingprogress.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-first-blogging-award.html?showComment=1222737000000#c5221038752798398632' title=''/><author><name>Vivien</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11475794513927394463</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://creatingprogress.blogspot.com/2008/09/my-first-blogging-award.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215435137163197514.post-3986936164733347595' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6215435137163197514/posts/default/3986936164733347595' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
