After being hurt, you may face pressure to forgive before the harm has been acknowledged. Forgiveness, trust and reconciliation are different questions: changing how you carry an experience does not automatically make renewed closeness safe or desirable.
These reflections explore remorse, repair and the expectations placed on the person who was harmed. They consider the possibility of forgiving without forgetting, and of maintaining distance without turning that choice into proof that you have failed to move on.
