Yes, I have certainly wronged people and asked for their forgiveness, but I cannot imagine abusing some people in the ways that I have experienced or that other people have mentioned in this thread. I hope those abusers in those situations find repentance and forgiveness, too, but not because I can remotely picture myself doing what they did.
I think there are some situations where understanding the other person's point of view can be helpful, but there are also situations where the abuse was traumatic and I think that approach can actually be very harmful and lead to situations of further abuse and trauma. I thought this thread was mainly discussing the latter kind of situation.
