The Dilemma: To Forgive & To Forget?

‘You don’t have to forgive and you don’t have to forget to move on. You can move on without any of that happening’

~ Taylor Swift

Healing isn’t linear

Healing isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ solution

Healing comes in many forms

Healing doesn’t always have to include forgiving

Nor does it have to include forgetting

For me, there are things that have happened in the last 3 years that shouldn’t have happened

Lines were crossed

Boundaries were pushed aside and ignored

Gaslighting became rampant

It resulted in bridges getting burnt

Bridges I have no interest in repairing

For me to heal

For my son to heal

For us to move forward

Olive branches will not be accepted

Some things just can’t be forgiven

No matter how much you sugar coat it
