The moment you stop seeking closure, explanations, and apologies is the moment you set yourself free. Not everyone will right their wrongs. Not everyone will understand the damage they caused. And waiting for them to do so only keeps you stuck.
Heal for yourself. Move on without the apology. Elevate without the validation.
Because the best revenge isn’t proving a point, it’s living so fully and freely that nothing from the past can touch you.

I believe my favourite therapist would say, you still may need to process your feelings and experience around significant moments of trauma. Repressed emotion can really get stuck in your subconscious and conscious mind, and can actually cause physical illness. I should know. I’m dealing with an early cancer diagnosis, and my therapist is certain that repressed emotion is a big factor. So we’ve gone back to the drawing board and we’ve uncovered some really old stuff that we hadn’t gotten to. It’s about feelings of parental rejection/neglect and a lack of overall safety in my family of origin. It’s tough stuff, and I’m glad to finally be tackling it. Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
