Should they be punished, or punished more than they have been? If they show you sufficient remorse/regret will this help you? Are there any amends they could make that would allow you to move forward?
I know that holding on to a resentment (whether justified or not) has rarely helped me. Just fuel for the fire.
Or, you can tell me I don't know shit about you and to fuck off.
They've been punished enough by having to watch me go through my struggles. If they showed remorse, that would be nice, but I've already moved forward. I forgave them a long time ago, even though I do still harbor a little bit of resentment, but I think given what I've been through, it's a healthy amount of resentment. Things are great between us, and I even take my family over to their house on a weekly basis.
What you read of my earlier post was mainly me venting a bit.
