Do I forgive my rapist?
- Posted on December 4, 2025
If you read my book you know the in depth story of my 2013 rape and maybe you may wonder how do I feel about the guy who raped me. Well to be completely honest as hard as it may seem to understand I never had any unforgiveness towards him and not because he wasn’t wrong but mainly because I was in such denial of what he did to me, I knew to a small extent it wasn’t really okay but I still blocked everything out and mainly judged myself, to be honest I couldn’t forgive myself for years as mentioned in my book but God finally freed me from that! However, looking at the situation now and in a healed state, I’ll say this and it’s true; I don’t hate him at all but I realize that clearly he had some extreme issues, the desire to wanna rape someone isn’t normal at all, but ultimately behaviors are learned, possibly he was raped at some point in his lifetime which made it become normal to him to do to others or maybe he saw men in his own family line rape women. All in all he needed some clear healing! Hopefully he gets it! Hopefully he gets delivered and realizes you don’t have to repeat toxic behavior patterns you experienced or witnessed yourself! Healing ultimately is a intentional choice though! Do I think he should go to hell for raping me and even others he may have raped? Well ultimately it’s not my place to say who should or shouldn’t go to heaven, Judgement is up to God! Now clearly some people are going to go hell indeed no doubt! Obviously not every person will repent although they can
