I just wanted you to know that I have visited three different therapists, and all three encouraged me to forgive a parent who was cruel to me when I was a child.  At first, this idea of forgiving offended me, but having heard it so often, I have come around to trying it and liking it.  I just wanted to give you this feedback.

Thank you for letting me know that you tried forgiveness after three therapists recommended it. We have to be careful that the therapists do not pressure us into forgiving. Forgiveness is your choice, not the choice of the therapists.
