You hit the nail on the head for me- I have to forgive every day, a thousand times a day some days. Some days I don't forgive, and the memories torment my consciousness until I fall asleep (or drink or smoke weed when I'm not sober) I don't think that this is abnormal, if it is easy for one to forgive I assume the wrong done was not major. Forgiveness is a choice, and a continual decision we can flip-flop too. Being aware of the elusive nature of forgiveness has given me the freedom to forgive on a deeper level somewhat. I still have to forgive every time a memory graces my mind with it's terror and pain. You are not alone.
