I forgave for me.
For my peace.
For my healing.
So I could move forward without carrying all that anger anymore.
But forgiveness does not mean I’m sitting back down at the same table pretending nothing happened.
It does not mean you get the same access to me.
It does not mean I trust you again.
And it definitely does not mean I’m putting myself or my children back into the same situation that hurt us in the first place.
Some people think forgiveness means full access again.
It doesn’t.
Sometimes forgiveness simply means
“I’m no longer angry, but I learned my lesson.”
