On the first day of this New Year, I asked God to help me forgive my exW for the pain that she caused me. And then I said "I forgive exW for the pain that she caused me". And I meant it when I said it.

Forgiving her has helped me to let go of the power that I had been giving her by holding onto the pain that I felt.

In the past, even recently, I couldn't imagine being able to do this. I do believe that it's progress.
