Some of us were infected by someone we loved.
Have you been able to move on?

Here is my take.
You don't have to forgive the person who gave it to you for THEIR sake.
Give forgiveness to them for YOUR sake.
If you don't give forgiveness for YOUR sake, then they still have control over you.
So f*ck them, they can go to hell with no forgiveness, but hold your head up, forgive them for yourself and show those mother f*ckers that they still didn't take you down.
You'll feel so much happier after that.

Forgiveness is very important for your mental health.
Because the other person is going to go on with their life and do what they're going to do. Control what you have control over. And the things that you have no control over. Then let them go because with you not forgiving them. They're still controlling you and you don't need that you're far better than that. So like some of the other people have said forgive them for your sake. Not theirs as many of you know. I am a Christian and I am a Deacon, so come judgment day they will be judged. for what they have done.
And you have no control of that. So for your mental health. Forgive him, let it go and go on with your life and be happy because the damage is already done.
Be careful, be safe and have a wonderful day 😊 💛 💗.

It depends on the circumstances. Some situations involving malice are very difficult to understand. Own the part that is yours, let go of the rest. @A myHIVteam Member.
