Man Struggles With Feeling Numb As His Abusive Mother Enters Hospice Care | YourTango https://www.yourtango.com/entertainment/man-struggles-feeling-numb-abusive-mother-enters-hospice-care 

 @8eb173c2 Yep, I pity my abusive parents, but I find that I will not go out of my way to help them. I may have forgiven them and moved on, but that doesn't mean I am going to give them another chance.

I have made peace with what happened, even love the fact that I am now stronger for it, but I do not have to actively put myself in harm's way again.
