No...

You can forgive someone without accepting their behaviour was acceptable.....

Those drawn to this topic of forgiveness:

So here I am praying, going to therapy - even yelling at my father's spirit...
for decades to let go and forgive him.

When suddenly out of no where one Sat morning I get this vision -
(I get them) - it is exactly what Rob Schwartz's book are about ---
the 'deal' or plan you make before coming here.

Turns out we were SO close - he said he would be my father and treat me the way I
treated others to have me stop it once and for ALL!

Nothing is what it appears to be here.

The person you hate, that bugs you the most -is your teacher...and it was meant to be, gang.
Your parents, your bad health --- your beauty or lack of it?
All part of your plan you agreed to to learn and grow.

Blind people? Handicapped people born that way? Very brave and high souls.

So nicely written.

My step-Father treated me terribly but I haven't had bad words to say for him for over 20 years. If I had to relive my life over again, I would still include him the way he was.

My first wife severely betrayed me. I think about her virtually every day but always in a very good light.

I learned a lot from both of them. The main lesson was putting my trust in the Universe. The Universe will always help you out.

The forgiveness you give to another might call attention to the deed that offended you. Perhaps it can lead to a change in future behavior and his list of potential victims vanishes. Even though you are not the beneficiary someone else is. It is not always about us(personally) but is about us(collectively).....

NICE POINT!

Those who have been abuse know what abuse is all about.

Something else abused have to reckon with which does not always get recognized is that the abused, a lot of times, become the abusers. It gets passed on from generation to generation....... in silence.

The story of two ex-prisoners of war who meet after many years.... When the first one asks, “Have you forgiven your captors yet?” the second man answers, “No, never.” “Well then,” the first man replies, “they still have you in prison.”
