Why do we Idolize forgiveness? The abuser can lie The abuser can cheat The abuser can beat But you have to forgive.
An abuser says things'll get better Before they cast you aside.
An abuser states "You're my all" Before hitting you again.
But you have to forgive Or you're in the wrong.
Sorry if this about to sound like a rant, but why do we idolize forgiving abusers? I feel like we as a society (USA) likes to downplay the severity of which abuse can do oneself. I've seen abuse and been abused. Beatings are something you can expect, lying, denying the truth. People still say we should forgive them as if nothing happened and still go back to them? Why? Enjoy.
