I'm so glad you're reaching out to folks and saying how you feel, that's a needed part of the process.
Forgivness was mentioned and that's good, yes we should forgive, but also look into what forgiveness is NOT. David forgave King Saul for hunting him down, didn't mean David trusted him again
Forgiveness is NOT the same as trusting, it's NOT minimizing the hurt/wrong/feelings, it's NOT removing punishment and the list goes on. Lot's of well meaning church going folks ram these and more into the word forgiveness and they only end up rubbing salt in the wounds so to speak.
