I sympathize with you and your situation so many people find themselves in the same position. I use constant forgiveness, as in every time I think of someone I want out of my life I immediately start to a forgiveness affirmation so that I can stop thinking about the person. I wrote a blog about it called
Forgive and Forget? And a few other blogs about the issue of letting go.
The latest thing I learned and the best thing I learned about forgiveness is the meaning of that physical reaction you get when the person you are trying to forgive shows up unexpectedly or someone else mentions him/her. Apparently it means you still have not gotten over what happened or you still have not completely forgiven this person and guess what you still need to keep working on it.
How does knowing this help: if you know why you are having a reaction you know what to do. Ask yourself, have I gotten over this? What do I need to do to deal with this situation? Do I need to work harder on forgiveness? I use the forgiveness strategy because I just want to get on with my life and rehashing issues simply adds energy to a situation or person I want completely out of my life you know "Law of Attraction".
Hope this helps.
Good luck
