I think we confuse forgiveness with continuing to allow someone toxic to be in our lives. Forgiving someone and deciding to no longer associate with that person is perfectly reasonable. The truth is some people just don't change. We hope they will, but that's not something that is in our control. Sometimes who someone is, even if we disagree with their behavior, needs to be accepted. We have to stop trying to make people out of whom we want them to be. This isn't limited to relationships; it's all interactions. Accepting someone doesn't mean you continue to allow them to be in your life. It's just looking at something from a realistic standpoint and making a conscious decision based on that. We have limits, and there is nothing wrong with setting firm boundaries. At some point, you realize you don't want to pretend like it's ok that someone treated you poorly. You don't have to.
