Uncommon Forgiveness

The road to forgiveness of my abuser began with a phone call. I called mom’s house, thinking she would answer as she always did, but not this time. My brother answered the phone, and it wasn’t long before he started telling me about his latest mishap, someone had broken his jaw while he was in the wrong place at the wrong time…again. Nothing was ever his fault; someone else always had to take the blame for the decisions he made in life. Including him molesting me for eight years from ages 6-14.
