Forgiveness

This is probably the hardest action to do. It is also the most freeing action. Forgiving was the most difficult for me because I hated the ex to point of wishing death would come to him sooner rather than later.

Have you ever heard of the saying, “holding onto bitterness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies”? Who really suffers when you hold onto bitterness, anger, and hate? You do. You have the anger and resentment while the other person lives their life as all things are normal and nothing wrong was ever done. Don’t you want to live in the same freedom? The first step is to forgive them. Let it all go. Forgiving does not mean that they won. It means, you did. You win by no longer letting them occupy space in your thoughts or your life. You win when they no longer have any affect on you.

I have made the decision to forgive all of the hurt and pain that was caused. Does that mean that I would ever give him another chance if the opportunity ever presented itself? Absolutely not!!! You may have just asked, “But why not? You forgave him. He could have changed.” Let’s just be honest. THEY DO NOT CHANGE! They just find different ways to manipulate you. Oh, it would no doubt be heaven on earth for about six months and then I’ll be kicking myself for believing that change was really possible this time. At this point, the cycle starts all over again.

DO NOT EVER GO BACK!

Are you ready to finally forgive and let go? Are you ready to be free?
