This is a journey not a destination. It matters only that you travel your journey and grow and develop becoming a man only a fool would leave.
The wonderful dad that you are shines bright.
It's ok not to forgive in my book that's ok. The hard thing is to let go of the resentment as that will eat you up and may encourage you to self sabatoge. It may mean passive aggressive stances and damage.
Forgiveness like love is a choice, an action that is possible. Some things cannot be forgiven and to do so may be damaging. To forget may also be difficult too. You can tell yourself I don't need to forgive, it's helpful to me and I can chose to do it. When I am ready then I can choose to forgive because otherwise I can't co parent my beautiful lovely son as effectively. I can choose to forgive for S sake but right now I choose not too. But I can decide and most likely will do that, but in the meantime I like not forgiving, it protects me and serves a purpose.
It's ok you know to be disappointed, out of this you have learned that a PMA is essential to Ins.
