Me making peace with people that have hurt me is for me- not them and not anyone else. It is so I can move on without baggage and live my best, most authentic life. It means I do not have to waste or make a withdraw of energy from my energy "bank account" where there is a finite amount of energy for me to spend daily. I do not like to allow the negative to monopolize my time. I could never have gotten to feel this way if I hadnt gotten sober and had therapy.
