We've all made mistakes and wrongful deliberations, some of us have not forgiven ourselves. But is it our place as humans to determine whether or not we are unforgivable, seeing as we were made in God's image? How does one go about forgiving themselves anyway?

In my case specifically, I remained silent about childhood sexual abuse for 14 years, resulting in my younger siblings being privy to different degrees of the same thing. Struggling to convince myself I DON'T deserve the millstone. No pity or apologies please, I just need insight.

Well that sucks. Not sure how I'd deal with that. Probably with me in prison and a pedo in the fucking ground.

If turning the other cheek is your goal, just use the belief system that everything that happens is part of God's plan, everything is just a piece of a puzzle that is a big picture of your life. So, just live your life as you see fit. Fate is predetermined.

That's how I define the christian philosophy.
