People that think you need to forgive people that have wronged you to move on are ridiculous. You can move on and accept what happened to you without forgiving an abuser/perpetrator/etc. I will never forgive my father for what he did to me, but have I grown up and moved on? Yes. Do I think about him? Rarely, and usually only when people ask me about my family and I am forced to explain my family dynamics. Winter doesn't owe it to himself or his mother to forgive/ reconnect with her. Especially after how shameless she has been.
I TOTALLY AGREE. same thing happened to me. Not letting myself hurt anymore. Not again.
Yeah, also forgiveness doesnt mean condoning or any stupid shit like that. People should forgive for themselves not for the person that has done them wrong, its to free yourself from hatred of the other person. It hurts the most knowing the person you'ved harmed forgives you but still doesn't contact you, it shows they dont care at all about you and youre no longer anything to them. To be honest no perpetrators like winter's mother will be deserving of forgiveness, when the victim forgives its not because someone deserves it but because they want to. Thats all there is to it and they dont have to do it if they dont want to.
It's nice to imagine I'd be a hero in an au like the mc of a manhwa. But now I've realized I'd be just like Winter. Risking it all on the chance my cat was reincarnated
