i just got this from my daily divorcecare email. someone was asking about this earlier and thought i would pass it on.

You do not need to justify your former spouse's behavior in order to forgive. Some people mistakenly think forgiveness only occurs when you finally understand or can rationalize why the other person did a certain thing or acted a certain way.

Forgiveness is acknowledging that what the other person did was not right and giving it up to God.

" That is correct. That is what I tried to do. Tried to forgive even though I was sure that she was wrong and that I was still angry. You have to forgive and leave it in God's hands. My buddy and I were analizing that consept yesterday as my STBX wrote a response to something I wrote on her divorce site and said that she forgives herself for hurting me. He didn't understand it and got mad. I just said, let it go. Its not worth it and just forgive! "

" I agree... It is not my job to punish others deeds. That belongs to the universe/god. And the sooner I let it go and do what is in my own best interest the sooner karma or consequences will work their appropriate magic in the other persons life... I get out of the way.... "
