Loving helps me forgive and helps me from being poisoned by my past. Does that make sense? Sorry if I made it sound confusing

It makes perfect sense.
It seems though that you are not trying to love him because you were taught that you SHOULD (as per your earlier post).
It seems, rather, that you seek to love and forgive others because you see commonality between them and you - that you are all human - and thus, believing that you yourself, as a human, are deserving of love, so are they.
That is all pretty deep to me, and, it seems to be something that is authentic and natural to YOU. It does not seem that you are just blindly trying to implement what you are taught. In order words, if you forgive my insisting on the difference between choose/should, it seems that you are, after all, CHOOSING to love the uncle.
More power to you!
