I am currently:

You don't deserve to hurt. No one does.

It is okay if you are angry with your mother for letting you be hurt in such a way.

This is something that I have found helps. One of my friends heard it at a religeous service and passed it on to me. There is a difference between forgiveness and exoneration. Forgiveness is letting go of the past, of the way things should have been.

My husband is my best friend.

In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
