Forgiveness

"The idea of forgiveness reflects a culture where people who have been abused are blamed for the difficult experiences they live with as a result of their abuse."

Telling People to Forgive is Gaslighting in Disguise.

“If you ‘let go’ by forgiving, you do not have to hold on to resentment and anger.”

Reading this article has made me realize I need Sheri to forgive me for the emotional and mental abuse she suffered as a result of my alcoholism.  It has also shown me why she refuses to do it.

I am slowly starting to understand why Sheri won't forgive or speak to me as a result of the emotional and mental abuse she suffered as a result of my alcoholism.

She sent back my Christmas card that was covered in four leaf clovers unopened.  The superstitious part of me says that is why she is having so much bad luck this year in 2020.
