Forgiving someone has nothing to do with them showing remorse.....it doesn't even have to have anything to do with interfacing with them. It is all about realizing they are who & what they are, accepting it & letting go of the hurt. It doesn't mean you forget the hurt & protect yourself from being hurt by them again but it is about letting go of the bad effect you continue to experience until it is let go of.

I have forgiven my EX of tje financial harm he has done to me.....I can't fix or change it.....it is over & done with but I sure wouldn't be foolish enough to ever get involved with him for any reason ever again.....but I can work with him & even have plesant conversations with him & I care about him as a person....which it wasn't like when I left him. I was seeing red any time we had anything to do with each other & I honestly think I hated him when I left him.....forgiveness has given ME peace....it has norhing to do with what the relationship was & it doesn't fix that past relationship.....but life can go on from there.....it is just different.
