One time back in high school one of my friends hooked up with one of my recent ex girlfriends. This caused us to have a feud and a falling out because he valued sex over our friendship. I quit talking to him and hanging out with him because I never thought he was capable of doing something behind my back like that. I never forgave him mostly because of how stubborn I can be when it comes to letting things go as I often overthink. Nothing is in the way of forgiveness except myself and the fact that I don't communicate with said person.

I had a past partner cheat on me with my best friend, for years I didn’t forgive either of them; but after I had left that particular person, and learned how to love myself, I was able to forgive them both. The biggest help for me personally regarding forgiveness was empathy. To forgive, for me, is to understand the reasons people commit harmful action, even if the reason isn’t logical. I personally cannot go back in time and prevent the harm done to me, and that is why I choose not to tether myself to that pain. Not everyone copes with things like I do, and some people are actively harmed by the pressure to forgive a past abuser, and that’s okay. There are situations where forgiveness isn’t the best policy. However, for my own mental well being, forgiveness is at the center of how I heal from the traumatic situations in my past. When I was still holding onto the resentment I felt towards the people who hurt me, I wasn’t able to begin truly figuring out who I am.

Hello, my name is Rachel Hopper. As of right now, the only person I can think of that I have not been able to forgive is my father. A couple years ago he got remarried, and ever since it has put a strain on our relationship. So much so that earlier this year he kicked me out of their house and I have not seen him much since. I can’t bring myself to forgive him for kicking me out because it feels like he has chosen a stranger over me. This brings me to the impact of not forgiving him. I have chosen to distance myself from him because of what happened. Which really hurts, since the two of us were very close. Whenever I’m reminded of him, part of me gets sad and another gets angry and I keep reliving the day he kicked me out over and over in my head. The thing that is keeping me from forgiving him is the fact he believes he’s done nothing wrong, and that my feelings aren’t valid. The only way I feel I will ever be able to forgive him is if he apologizes or admits that my feelings about the conflict in the beginning were and are valid.
