I understood so there was never anything to forgive.

What a coincidence. I have all kinds of things I'm waiting to forgive my father for, but it won't happen until the statute of limitations you referred to runs out. I don't know though -- there is a difference between coming to grips with someone's faults, accepting that a situation happened and moving on, and actually forgiving someone. Forgiveness may only be appropriate if the malefactor is contrite and actually asking for it. I am hesitant to accept brutal behavior based upon the rationale that maybe someone just does not know any better or was "brought up" that way. There are too many people who rationalize their own closet sadisms and perversions to themselves with that excuse.
