I'm not sure how I feel about the "making amends" step is in the recovery process. Sometimes it is good to hear a person who hurt you acknowledge your pain, but other times a person who hurt you poops back into your life just to remind you of trauma you'd like to leave in the past just because they're on some intospective journey of guilt and regret. What am I supposed to do with these?

@Gogogadgetpants Forgiveness isn't for them. It's for you. Holding onto anger is like trying to hurt the other person by drinking poison
