What about forgiveness?
Forgiveness is for you, not them, Sister. Holding resentment poisons your own body and mind. But forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or allowing continued abuse. You can release the emotional charge while maintaining boundaries. Forgive to free yourself, then protect yourself from future harm. Some relationships cannot be restored - forgive and distance. The goal is your peace, not their redemption. Prioritize your healing over their feelings.
