Thanks for that Angela I need to dwell on it more. I guess I really thought forgiveness meant it was ok, I'm wrong. Forgiveness is just acceptance. I also thought forgiveness meant that you have to start associating with the people again, since you "forgive them" it means it's a clean slate and you're supposed to act like everyone's on the same page again.
But I guess it's more acceptance, no grudges, and yes, feel free to move on and respect your own personal boundaries at the same time, even if that includes not speaking to the person anymore, even though you have "forgiven them".
