When she hurt me over and over……and over, it is difficult to see her emotional wounds. I get angry and depressed when I attempt to look at her wounds because of all the time that was lost and the pain that was caused. I do see some movement in myself in the forgiveness process in that the anger is going down, but not deeply or fast enough for me.  Will I be able to get past this and find relief from forgiveness?

Yes, I think that if you have a strong will, you will overcome this. As you say, you are making progress even if it is slow.  I recommend that you not give up, even if it means fighting for your healing and enduring with a lot of patience. Don’t have high expectations too soon. The process of forgiving someone is a journey and sometimes a difficult one. However, as you practice, you gradually reduce your anger until you can see the results.  As you offer mercy, that mercy likely will come back to you.
