“Forgiveness is not a method to bypass or avoid the long and at times brutal trauma recovery process.”
Amanda Ann Gregory, You Don't Need to Forgive: Trauma Recovery on Your Own Terms

Moon Unit Zappa
“If I am honest, it's hard for me to keep my promise to myself and to Gail to hate my father and only love my mother, especially on the days Gail takes everything out on me. Instead of blaming her, I learn to blame myself. After all, I am the one who swore total allegiance to her.”
Moon Unit Zappa, Earth to Moon: A Memoir
