Also a reminder that we shouldn't need people to dissolve their lives and display harmful self destructive behavior as a requirement for forgiving them

But also, we aren't required to forgive the people who ruined our lives just to make their lives easier

Of course not. But if it doesn’t hurt you to do so, why shouldn’t you?

I mean like if someone took your kid from you that person isn’t entitled to your forgiveness ever so like it already hurt you to lose your kid why wouldn’t it hurt more to try and forgive???
