The process of forgiveness is not quite complete yet, and at times the rage still boils up in me. It helps to understand the abuse was not personal, but just another stop in the narcissist’s never-ending journey to inflict pain on others. Instead of dwelling on the hurt, I am working through it as part of the healing process. Eventually, my scars will fade, and my time will shift to new endeavors instead of healing. The narcissist’s journey will never end unless he admits to wrongdoing, seeks help, and change.
Sometimes breaking away is the most undeniable aspect of healing.

Forgiving for me has removed the virus within. As some have said we are only poisoning ourself. I had to also acknowledge and forgive myself for my part of the dance. Yes my heart was broken. Broken open with an abundance of light, love, learning , and Hope flooding in.

The feeling of hate is like a parasite and I’m glad you were able to forgive.

I was discussing forgiveness the other day, what is it anyway? does it mean we don’t hate them? or we will forget? or is forgiving attached to anger which comes from hurt, so forgiving means it don’t hurt anymore? Either way for me the memory of something sometimes comes and goes, sometimes its hurt sometimes its sadness, but these experiences mean I need to distance myself to protect myself from being hurt again, thats how I forgive, please shed your light.

I think forgiveness is different for everyone. For me it means not wasting energy on all those bad memories anymore but always remembering the lessons learned.
