Forgiving someone who has hurt, harmed, slighted, embarrassed, or humiliated you is never easy. In traumatic situations, it takes time and often therapy, and it is totally OK if you do not want to forgive them. Yet one of the biggest misunderstandings about forgiveness is that it is for the other person. It's not. When you find the courage to forgive someone, it is for you. Forgiveness is not about forgetting what happened, either, but it cuts the ties between you and them, and in this way, helps you to be free.
