Re: What Do You Feel Guilty About?

Folks can be divided on the issue of whether or not bullies should apologize to their victims, and if victims should hear out/forgive bully. I'm not sure what I'd do. I'm not holding out for an apology, nor am I dreading one. But then, I let go years ago and don't think about it. If my bully came out of nowhere and said they were being abused, I'd be sad for them and maybe understand the hell a child can go through. But I'd likely be, "thanks for explaining, sorry you were suffering, have a nice life" and hope they wouldn't push further.

But nonny, whether or not your victim is receptive to you, I'd mentally prepare myself for the possibility they won't be. It's entirely possible you will need to make peace with that and find a way to let go. I assume you've already resolved to be a better person; think of focusing on that, treat folks in general kindly (again, I'm sure you already do), etc.

I'm sorry you had to experience those horrible things as a child.
