Rhonda Rhonda,

The tricky thing in forgiving someone like a molester is to forgive without 
forgetting.  I forgave my brother for molesting me, but I remembered it in 
that I didn't leave my nieces and nephews alone with him and warned my 
family to follow the same practice.   What I learned from that, though, is 
that forgiving is for us, so that bitterness doesnt' take over our lives.
