Hi there, my friend. Forgiveness remains in the domain of the heart. When we stop looking at the experience as something bad, but as something that has taught us something that we didn't know before, then we can be grateful for the gift that the person gave us. In "Illusions," by Richard Bach, he states, "We seek problems, because we need their gifts." Focus on the gift and forgiveness becomes second nature.
When we stop blaming others for what happens to us, and take responsibility for whatever actions led us to this point in time and this place, then we can see the greater design that accompanies the experience that we are going through at any given moment. This releases you to understand and the other person to be whatever they need to be. People come into our lives and stay until we "get" the lesson that we are supposed to. Learn the lesson and forgiveness is easy.
