Forgive, certainly. Now understand that does not mean no consequences to abusive behavior. I don't think keeping good boundaries in place to keep evil out of my life means I have a hard heart. Careful how you push the compassion card, my compassion has been often used to manipulate and rendered me an enabling victim. There is a Savior who died for the sins of others, I am not called to "be" Jesus, only to accept his sacrifice and to release those who have sinned against me to his judgement, rather than my own. I can and will forgive, I will not be ignorant of lessons learned and "forget".
