What I Learned and Realized 57- Forgive Those who are Sincerely Sorry

One of the most important things I have learned is that if someone is sincerely apologetic and is making changes to be a better person, than forgive them. I have always been one to hold grudges. In the past, my mindset would have been “If you fucked me over than stay away from me, because I don’t like you.” After coming to terms with what I did to Arthur, I realized I really fucked up. I wanted to change, I wanted to be a better person, and most importantly I wanted him to forgive me. I always told myself that I wouldn’t forgive myself for what I did to him until he forgave me, and he did. As for my ex Larry, he has overly expressed how sorry he is for doing the things that hurt me and that he never wanted those things to affect me the way they have. He and I both realized we’ve made mistakes, we can admit them, and we’re doing everything in our power to be better people. I want people to forgive me for my past mistakes and I can admit my wrong doings, so I can forgive those that can also admit their wrong doings and make up for their mistakes. As for Dick, he will never be sincerely sorry for anything he has done to me or other victim’s he as abused because he doesn’t believe he has done anything wrong. He will NEVER admit the person he really is, so his issues will never get better. He also intentionally hurts people to feel good about himself. That’s a narcissist for you though! I choose to not forgive him at this time as I don’t feel I need to forgive someone that has abused me that much. However, I have chosen to move past it and keep him far out of my life!
