If you really understand somebody's story, it's almost impossible on some level to not forgive them. However, that does not mean we have to excuse their shitty behaviour. For there to be any true healing for either side we have to hold the people in our lives accountable for their actions.
This does not mean we go at them from a place of “I’m better than you” sitting up on our high horse above them. It is possible to hold them accountable in a loving manner. One that does not take from our mental well-being in the process.
Today on the Karen Kenney Show, we are talking about how it is not loving to allow the people in our lives to continue on in their bad behavior. Part of loving them sometimes means we have to be upfront and keep them accountable by calling them out. The uncomfortable parts are difficult but skipping over them is not going to do anyone any good.
