Forgiveness is certainly a valid path for some in some cases, but a person doesn't have to forgive to move on. We simply hold on to the light in our lives and forget the broken, narcissistic individuals who hurt us. No forgiveness to the perp needed. You're already forgotten.
Indeed, how narcissistic for a perp to believe he/she has any remaining power over us, and can "help" us? What New Age hogwash. Of course the perp wants forgiveness. But they're really only thinking of themselves.
And if you're a murderer, there is no forgiveness until somehow you get let off the hook by your victim. Since they're dead, methinks you'll have to wait a while.
