Forgiveness yes, but also break the abusive cycle!
It would be helpful to expand on what forgiveness entails so that the listener is clear about what you mean to avoid harm. In a world where where toxicity and narcissim are on the rise, it’s vital for me (and others) to understand that when I am abused, forgiveness means releasing resentment and anger towards the perpetrator, but it does not mean that I have to allow the perpetrator back into my life. Forgiveness means breaking the cycle and protecting myself in future.
