I’m unable to forgive three people. I’ve struggled to do so
for the past three years.
When I was hurting, they I feel they turned on me—individually
and collectively. It’s not like I was expecting their unbridled support. That
said, the chain of events that transpired was light years from what I ever
imagined.
It still hurts to think about what happened. And I can’t let
it go. I know holding on in this way hurts me, not them.
Someday I hope to find a way to forgive them. But not right
now.
That doesn’t mean I’ve given up trying to do so. It just
means that I’m not ready.
I’ve learned that’s the way forgiveness works. It can take time.
No matter how powerful the rationale for forgiving someone, it still takes
time. Even if when you’re willing, it still can take time.
