How can we strike a balance between taking care of ourselves and putting up with verbal abuse that keeps coming from someone who simply won’t stop?
When you choose to forgive, you don’t have to endure the ongoing abuse that is draining you. You might need to leave the conversation for a while. Please make an effort to keep in mind that reconciliation and forgiveness are two different things. Taking a break from the other person’s interactions is a smart self-care strategy if the abuse persists despite your best attempts to stop it and if it is wearing you down. When you extend forgiveness, you should also request justice from the people who have wronged you. We must distinguish between forgiving and reconciling, since some people will refuse to change their unjust actions.
