No contact and forgiveness

Submitted by Annie (Ireland), Dec 1, 2019 at 17:00

I'm currently going through the no contact phase and considering the recent posts here I would like to proclaim this applies to ALL dysfunctional relationships. It's getting easier but wow coming out of this whirlwind is a bit insane. I feel terrible as if I've done something wrong but the truth is I've been loyal throughout it all. Yes, I've got to and I am taking some responsibility for this and in that I will find my forgiveness towards myself and others and move forward because life's too short for grudges. It's not easy but it's definitely for the best. I won't hold anger because anger is a form of self torture. I can only wish everyone involved in this mess including myself(I mean my situation in that statement)the freedom of the present moment, the experience and learning attained. Educate together and everyone's a winner. Life goes on.
