I never received an apology in 8 years or remorse from my ex. Forgiveness was going to have to come from within to free my soul.
I just realized I forgave one day. It was the day I realize I am not harboring anger, bitterness and resentment that was holding me back from my true growth and that was keeping me stuck.
I have not forgotten what they have done. I do not condone what they have done. But Forgiveness for me was a freedom from the hurt and pain they caused me. Forgiveness was saying "ok, they have done what they done, it can't be changed, and I want to not let it control my life anymore. I just want peace."
