None of us can control our emotions. We can learn, s-l-o-w-l-y, to control how we act or react to our emotions. To learn that you deserve respect is a good lesson. Someone who has treated you as he has does not deserve your friendship.
You can forgive him - FOR YOURSELF, NOT HIM. But you don't have to like him or have anything to do with him anymore. That's the hard part to learn, especially if we think of ourselves as "nice", "generous" "compassionate" and "forgiving" people. You can be all that and still have people you do NOT want to be friends with or have anything to do with. That's respecting yourself. That's loving yourself as much as others. That's having a sense of diginity.
