Embrace forgiveness as a powerful tool for inner peace and lasting healing.

 

 

I had a tumultuous relationship with my last ex. We were both struggling to be heard and understood, but instead of trying to work through our issues together, we both turned to unhealthy coping mechanisms. I drank and he became outwardly angry. We were stuck in a cycle of trying to prove that we were right and make the other wrong. 

 

I didn't understand why it was so hard for us to forgive, but after some research, I learned that there were several reasons. One of them being that we didn't know how or where to begin. I was also filled with thoughts of retribution and revenge, and I was addicted to the adrenaline that anger provided. I identified as a victim, and I was hoping that by not forgiving I could protect myself from being hurt again. Maybe you can relate?

1. What are five reasons it's hard to forgive, and how can we make it easier?
