ABUSE AND FORGIVENESS

Abuse and forgiveness

By Rebecca Masina

How do you begin to forgive someone who abused you intentionally? How do you begin to forgive someone who took what you have for them for granted? Someone who made your life seems so useless you even thought of committing suicide? Do you believe in good life after forgiveness? Yes you might have forgiven but does your heart and mind really forget?

They say time heals but really? How many of you have been through such stages and have forgiven and forgotten? It takes a very good heart to forget about such. Abuse is a very big thing in our country and it is continuing to happen. Most people are afraid to speak out, in fear of being judged. Keeping something in your heart will definitely kill you.

Abuse comes in different ways. Most suffer from physical and emotional abuse. Look you deserve better than being abused. There is more to life than to be with someone who abuses you and tomorrow say they are sorry, they did not know what was wrong with them and that they will never do it again only for it to happen few hours after they have apologized. They might be the only people you have in your life but really somewhere out there, there is help. Let’s take down our pride and open up. Try to get help. In that you might be taking the step into helping those in need of help. No one deserves to be abused in any sort of way.

Yes we love them. But let’s love them enough to let them go. No one should commit suicide in the name of love. Love should be love not abuse. Love is happiness, respect, joy, trust, communication, understanding, comfort, laughter and growth.  No one is allowed to be abused and say it’s been done because they are being shown love. Wake up. Someone who loves you will never abuse you. Even the obsessed lovers never lay a hand on their loved ones.

Give love, trust, and respect if you also want to be given them back.1/7/2016
