But forgiveness isn’t about excusing him. Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness. But because you deserve peace.
— Buddha
My favourite therapist says it’s not about letting the other person off the hook. It’s about freeing oneself of the burdensome, negative emotions. In my experience, processing old events and feelings has gone a long a long way to moving forward in a healthy way. (Full disclosure, some of the most troublesome childhood stuff has taken many sessions, and years frankly. But it gets better). Just sayin’ :) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
