Anyways, for anyone holding onto negativity in their relationships - take it from me: forgiveness is truly the path to YOUR peace and joy. You don't do it for the other person (my ex-bf has no idea of what's going on in my life!). Forgiving another person is actually forgiving yourself.

And, if anyone deserves your forgiveness...isn't it youself?
You really expressed yourself beautifully here. How wonderful for YOU that you've reached this point in your life. Think how many unpleasant experiences and emotions you will not have to endure because you've reached this level of understanding.

Mark Twain said forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds upon the heel that has crushed it.
