jen   , jme, but i pray for that person. it may not help them but for some reason it does help me. have no idea why this works but it does. another thought, when we keep the resentment, its not hurting the wrong doer but only hurting ourselves because our spirit if not at peace. try not to give that person that much power over you. they are going on with their life and could care less probably. i don't understand either how ppl can hurt others the way they do. it's troubled me since a child. my conscience would bother me so much i'd have to right the wrong but not all ppl are like that.
so the person you need to treat kinder to is yourself. if there is no resolution forthcoming let it go and hand it over to a hgher power, jme. we cannot change the past even tho it might be a better world if we could. so the present is the only thing we've got to deal with. let your life be a shining star  . hang with ppl that respect you and value you as a person. keep a healthy distance emotionally from those that have harmed you. this will protect you from their ways. you're not running from them, you choose to surround yourself with good ppl with your value system. you sound like a nice person. stay that way and don't allow others to tarnish your spirit. hugs to u.  i hope this helps in some small way.
