Do not mistake my kindness and my forgiveness as weakness. Having healthy boundaries and being able to move forward to live life vivaciously is not only possible, it has happened. Choosing to let go and not to be bitter over the choices my aunt, uncle, and cousins have made has been the healthiest and wisest course. Forgiveness does not excuse their behavior, that they choose to continue to make up false narratives, hold grudges and deny forgiveness is upon their shoulders. Time does not heal all wounds but it is a choice to let it fester or to let the wound sink into the subconscious. Someday they will have to explain their reasoning and their actions and that may be in the afterlife before the Judgement Bar of God. But for now, my family has chosen to not let those wounds fester and we have moved on, happier and healthier.
