I understand your position and kind of agree, but some things aren't easily forgiven or ignored.

I have known people that were like family to me that betrayed my trust. although I wish them success in their lives, they are forever strangers to me because they are not who I thought they were, and just like a stranger that has broken my trust I cannot and will not subject myself to their lies again.

Have I moved past their betrayal? I think so. Have I forgiven them? Yes. Do I want those people in my life again? no. never.

That's exactly what I was tyring to get at. Forgiving is something you do for yourself. That doesn't mean you have to forget about what happend nor not let it have consequences. But holding to the grudge will do nothing but harm yourself.
