How have you dealt with dysfunctional, truly abusive family/people who do not get help? I go to therapy. They don't. Everyone says CUT TIES.

Yes. It's the only way to heal, grow strong, and stay sane. Forgive on your schedule. Forget? Move on when you're ready.

Forgiveness is easier when it's other people. It's me I'm most angry at for allowing it go on and on and on despite knowing. I kept up hope.

That's a hard one but it can be done. My mantra for the past few years has been to be kinder to myself. It works.
