I think eventually one needs to put their past behind them because you only have one life, and you have somewhat of a choice to either thrive, die, or be a victim. I wish everyone can get to the place where they are thriving before they die, that would be the best thing.
But to just "forget" about the past especially if it was abusive, isn't always possible because your body remembers and will still react to that abuse in certain situations. Your body maybe be living a life that isn't so great because it is all you know because of the abuse. I think I tend to hear "just forgot about it and move forward" from those who have never had anything tragic happen in their lives. They just don't understand and maybe they are lucky they don't.
