Forgiving may be letting go of the anger and sadness that comes with the hurt for your own well being. This person who keeps hurting you isn’t going to stop. They aren’t going to respect your boundaries. They aren’t a nice person. That’s why you are hurt and angry.

So you keep them at a safe distance because it feels better than completely moving on from them.

There are plenty of time someone hurts us and it doesn’t feel that bad to us. It wasn’t so severe. Then, it is easy to forgive and cautiously forget. People aren’t perfect.

It’s the severe offenders that you have to come to this crossroad with.
