I like the acknowledgment that forgiveness and trust are separate things. Trust is an earned thing and relates more to the other person's behaviour, but forgiveness is something we do to ease our own soul.

I have been dealing with this issue for 10 years and there is no end in sight, unfortunately. I am glad you have lots of loving support -- it does make all the difference!

I'm sorry for the hurt you have suffered and I feel sorry for the person who hurt you. I feel pity because it is a very sad person who would wish such horrible things on someone...especially a friend. It makes me sick. Hugs to you, dear. This breaks my heart.

I think forgiveness incorporates many other actions, like talking it out, listening, letting go of bitterness, dealing with the betrayal etc. But if people don't respond to your actions as you try to forgive, it seems to open up a whole new world of hurt, and the cycle begins again. I am seeing forgiveness as my job and I am TRYING to do my part, though it is so very hard when the other party seems oblivious to it all. My maid of honour has been out of my life almost since our wedding day. Maybe she was jealous, maybe I said something, but she refused to talk. She betrayed me to friends and even went after my ex boyfriends in an attempt to hurt me(so it seemed to me). When I confronted her, she said she did nothing wrong and I should get over myself. She has never acknowledged the birth of my children, and when she does see me, she is cold and aloof. I think I am past the hurt, I have forgiven her, but I just don't understand. Maybe that's not the point, but it still kinda sucks. Sorry to hear that this has happened at all...I understand the pain.

Your words is what I needed to hear and be reminded of. As well I give my heart easily and a reminder to keep care of my heart and to be very picky who I give it to. May you feel God's peace that only comes from Him in this time of hurt. One thing I have learned about forgiveness is it is being willing to take the emotional pain that person caused you and you become free. Thank-you for sharing.
