Hey @sheila23, I am sorry you had to go through such hardship in life. But I am so glad that it shaped you into a stronger person. Mental peace is very important and it comes with the forgiveness, not revenge. So you did some charity to yourself while deciding not to hurt the ones who hurt you in the past.
Cheers, and keep doing what you are doing. Your family is lucky to have a superwoman like you by their side.
