Wow...what a tremendous article. I couldn't agree with it more because I stayed in a relationship with an abusive narcissist and forgave so much that it is humiliating to think of, all along thinking he was grateful for my efforts. It started early with him cheating on me with my best friend, which damn near caused a total nervous breakdown, but I swallowed my agony and tried to tend to HIS hurt feelings. But my forgiveness was nothing but permission for bad behavior, because such men know THEY wouldn't tolerate it, so they see forgiving women as lesser beings and take advantage of it.
