Agreed. And forgiveness from the abused is not a requirement. In my experience, it takes time to come to terms with having been a abused and it takes decades to gain peace around those events. Just now, at the age of 60, I can think of my father without going into a rage and wishing he burn in hell. And that's quite the victory. There was a lot of pressure for me to forgive. It happens in time, maybe, and maybe not. I must stay focused on protecting my mental health, not succumbing to the pressure to forgive an abuser. That took a very long time to figure out. We're all on our own path. Jonah will figure shit out, or he won't. Regardless, he'll have quite the price to pay for his immaturity and entitlement.
