@ゼフィラ-ヤラ I admit, Im kind of struggling to forgive my dad. It’s been about a month since he did his “oopsie” but he’s so quick to forget what he does. He acts like we’re friends again, even the next day, but never thinks how much of a dent he leaves. His attitude about it has been just too gross for me to feel like he deserves the same love again. The fact that he’s not sorry and doesnt even think he did anything wrong in the first place is what’s making me so upset. I feel kind of silly not really knowing how to move past this since I try to tell others how to do just that. I guess ive forgiven my dad so many times that i feel like not forgiving him this one time is staying strong for once. I should forgive but it’s hard to seperate how to forgive and not forget, yknow? Because ill likely never forget how I was treated.

@Duchess It’s completely understandable that you’re struggling with this. Forgiveness can be incredibly challenging, especially when someone doesn’t acknowledge the hurt they’ve caused. It’s okay to feel upset and conflicted about it. Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing what happened; it’s about finding peace for yourself. Maybe taking some time to process your feelings and boundaries could help. Remember, forgiveness is a journey, not a destination, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time.

Yeahh, that’s so true.
I have tried to give myself time to process what happened, but sadly, my dad doesnt exactly…stop…acting…poorly, i guess Ill say lol. So it keeps bringing up my feelings again. I feel like the only thing that’ll help me feel better is reminding myself he’s not worth my energy and…just not care about him anymore? I’ve avoided working with him and avoided one-on-one trips, which I guess has helped me stay out of his path. It’s just pretty disappointing to think about basically mentally dissing him as my father since there was a point I thought he was the one person I could lean on. I wish my relationship with him felt like how it did years ago but I know it cant go back becuase the only reason it felt good was because I didnt know I was hurt then too. Now, I guess it’s literally just me and the people I’ve met on mpp/mppc. Despite only knowing you all online, at least the relationships I have here are the most genuine thing I have.
