Forgiveness does NOT preclude exluding someone harmful from your life. Neither is it about releasing them from the consequences of their actions or words. It's not about them. It's about freeing yourself from the control you give them by holding that grudge – freeing yourself from their ability to hurt you.

As I said about someone else, "I forgive you because I won't let you burden my soul. Now, watch me love you unconditionally as I walk away from you forever."
