Go to Total Forgiveness
- Add a comment
- Go to Forgiveness does include an intention to forget
Thanks for your insightful comment
I think it is possible to forgive in the middle of continued attacks etc. But to forgive does not mean you should not act to protect yourself from further harm. And when stuff does keep happening and you are hurt again, it is just another round of learning to forgive.

Not knowing if your landlord/xboss is looney or not I worry a little bit about you. If this person would do illegal things to incite you to I assume anger or to make you move he might escalate and do more things. I hope you reported all this to the police, just for your safety. The police won't do much but it might be a good idea to have the events made clear. You are right forgiveness is in the hands of the injured party, once you have stopped the idea that you were hurt you can move on. I find this hard when the person continues to attack. For example I have prayed to let go the hurts my xhusband caused to my children and me. I have at times been at total peace with the past with my x but he keeps coming up with new dramas. Its that point when you have disingaged yourself and can step to the side like a boxer dodging the punch, and not returning one that you really win.

We can only forget and forgive after the harmful ways have been abolished.
