Episode 61: Nobody is entitled to your forgiveness!
This week I wanted to expand on a topic I discussed in my Facebook group and on an Instagram IGTV video. It\u2019s around the topic of forgiveness entitlement. In this episode, I also talk about addiction or abuse, and why you can\u2019t force someone to get help.\xa0\nSo, your spouse says they\u2019re doing the work and they seem to be doing all the right things. But you still can\u2019t trust them and they don't understand why.\xa0You wonder, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d There is NOTHING wrong with you. You\u2019ve been betrayed and hurt, and you\u2019re not healed yet.\xa0\nIf your spouse is telling you that you need to get over it already, here\u2019s what I want to say to you: the only person who gets to say when they\u2019re ready to move forward is the person who has been the victim of the offending act \u2014 in this case, you.\nWhen someone says they\u2019re doing all the work, remember that actions speak louder than words. And if they are truly doing the work, they\u2019re opening the door so that you can be okay, so you can heal and eventually, you can forgive. But, know this:\nNobody is entitled to your forgiveness.\xa0\nTune in to hear why this is so important for your healing, your journey, and your relationships (now or in the future).\xa0\xa0\nHere are just a few of the topics I touch on in this episode:\n\nThe only time you should forgive someone.\n\nEmotional abusers or active addicts know exactly what they are doing. YOU are the person who needs to understand the truth of what\u2019s going on.\xa0\n\nThe importance of not controlling the situation and allowing him or her to find their process to recovery.\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
