I am having to deal with a major betrayal by my husband and decide whether to move forward and forgive. Someone at Al-Anon just said to me last night "At some point, you're going to have to decide if you can ever forgive him. If not, the marriage has no chance and you should tell him so he can move on." I've been struggling with whether forgiveness let's him off the hook, but maybe forgiveness let's ME off the hook instead. Maybe if I can see myself forgiving him 5 years from now, I can see myself asking my Higher Power to help me start forgiveness today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969377097750640088.post-50854078187569494312011-07-09T05:43:20.332-07:002011-07-09T05:43:20.332-07:00Great post.

I have been the victim many times before and finally realized too that forgiveness was all about getting me moving on (and out of Victimville!) and not so much about something I was doing for the other person. And what weight was removed with that revelation! Love this!

It is good to remember that every day is a chance to forgive and move on.

I didn't "get" that for a long time. I also needed divine help along the way. Being free and serene is the gift of forgiveness. Took me years to grasp that.
