When it's a one-way street...part 4

I would say that you know when it no longer bothers you. But that starts with making the conscious decision to not let whatever needs forgiveness bother you any longer. It might still bother you for a while, but like everything else we have to work on in these situations, it takes time.

If you've made the decision to try and forgive, in a way, you already have. It might help to vocalize that you're forgiving them. If you're worried about something happening again, vocalize that as well.
