- Go to A question for everyone on forgiveness
I'm not holding this against my mother. When I told her how I really felt about meeting him she understood. This wasn't something she was doing for my "own good" or anything.
When I was a kid people used to say if you don't have anything "nice" to say about someone don't say anything at all. Well my application of that is if I feel nothing but contempt for a person I won't have anything to do with them.

Seems healthy to me to avoid people who've proven themselves harmful
to you in the past. I've learned that icy politeness and a blank look, if you're forced into a face to face, can shut off attempts to resume the old dance. And if your mother's trying to orchestrate a connection, it may be he's manipulated her. He can't be the only auto mechanic in town.

To forgive is a blessing.

For me, I believe wanting or not wanting to be in the company has nothing to do with forgiving. If the situation is negative, run. Forgiveness is for your own healing! I am sorry your Mom was attempting to initiate a reunion without your knowledge/consent, forgive her, she is the only one that matters. I doubt she will do this again> sort your emotions and forget that bully>>>>>sam
