I Forgave The Man Who Raped Me When I Was Young

I feel like this is the thing that lots of people can’t get their heads around. I have forgiven my rapist and in many ways I love and care about him. I certainly won’t ever forget what he did to me but I can forgive it and that makes me feel good. I don’t know, it’s kind of weird.
