I will speak from an angle which is not commonly spoken.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to you or making up with the person who caused the harm.
Forgiveness does necessarily mean reconciliation with the perpetrator after forgiving them.Boundaries need to be set otherwise you become what people want you to be and not who you should be. As Christians there are several aspects that we can get wrong,for example,saying No and setting boundaries;you can feel guilty if yt do that but are you really guilty?? Even forgiveness..,..what is forgiveness? You cannot forgive a murderer or abuser ,forget what they did and live under roof and sleep peacefully. It happened here at an NGO and a former “rehabilitated and forgiven street thug,one day just took a brick and hit a social worker,killing him instantly. So you see,self preservation kicks in and once bitten twice shy is not just a simple quote.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean co-inhabiting with the perpetrator after forgiving them.
This is my opinion based on experiences I’ve had in the past 30+ years and I don’t mean to thwart other people’s opinions.
The verdict is yours!!!
