[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this holiday is about feeling grateful. And I am. But I’m also mad. A person hurt me in a really terrible, grotesque way. They know they did it, and they know it was wrong. But they have not apologized, and I feel confident they never will.

How do I move on? They aren’t in my life anymore, but they are at its fringes (live and work not far away). I have so much love and joy in my life, but I still think about what they did nearly every day.

How do I move on? I don’t want to forgive them (I’m not a martyr and I don’t want to forgive someone who has never and will never hold themselves accountable). Will I ever get to a point where I don’t think about this? Will I ever feel peace? And if so, how?

What I’ve done so far: therapy (still at it), meditation, taking occasional solo drives so I can scream at the top of my lungs.

What am I missing?[/quote]

Forgiveness. Forgiveness is for you, not the other person. It is your way to freedom. Does it mean what they did was okay?  No, it releases you from bondage by laying down your desire for revenge. You can’t control another person. Think who you want to be as a person and then be that person. [/quote]
