[ThePossumone]

Part of the reason we keep getting triggered is because we keep going back to interact with people who are unhealthy for us snd who deliberately provoke us

[tonyhill]

Thank you, Kris. Even though I am a Biblical Counselor, I have struggled with anger after divorcing my wife of 42 years, because she continued to be an unrepentant covert narcissist. You reminded me that recovering from the hurt is often the reason we might still feel angry after making the decision to forgive. This helped me immensely.

[jeffreyzeiss]

Excellent job as usual Kris! I read not too long ago: "to forgive someone means you release yourself as judge over the offender and transfer judgment over to God."

[loldawg]

yes i struggle with this. i thought i forgave and then something reminds me of something and i get angry again. and i get annoyed because i feel bad bc i dont want to be disobedient to God. its a vicious cycle

[dorothywest]

I forgave a narcissist I'm still with. I know he won't change unless God got a hold of him. The forgiveness is for me to heal within...❤

[terrydelman]

We honor our parents by not enabling their bad behavior or allowing them to continue their abusive ways with us or any others under our protection. We honor them by giving them clear boundaries and consequences, if they are not remorseful, repentant and willing to work towards ending their abusive ways.

My husband of 42 years had an affair in 2003. And then caught him again in 2019. Not sure how many other times he committed adultery. November 13 I said I’m done and left. Filed for divorce. Found out about Narcissistic behaviour and that is who he is. Realized there were many red flags along the way. I was victimized and now God has set me free.✝️❤️🙏

[dannywilliams]

You nailed it to the wall Kris trust is the key, I do not trust them at all and have had to put them out of my life because they keep doing the same thing over and over again

[antoinetteferreira]

Hi from South Africa. I so wish you were based here. In two years since finding out my husband of 33 years cheated on me for a lufetime, I have yet ONCE to have heard from a multitude of counsellors what you are saying. I am understanding myself for the first time and jot just feeling like a failure. This is one of the BEST talks Ive heard explaining my emotions. THANKYOU.

[AmandathePandaBooks]

Forgiveness is setting something free into Gods hands, who avenges you. He always avenges us in very creative ways!! Ive seen this in my own life!

[FaithfulEncourager]

God answered the questions I had in my heart. I've chosen to forgiven people but I still feel the anger from the unhealed emotions. This makes a lot of sense.
Thank you! God bless!!!

[ginaofficer]

If angry, we need to ask God what is the root behind the anger. It can be fear and lack of trust.This is especially true if ongoing due to lack of repentance.

[ruthstolz]

I forgave, but will never reconcile with those who show unrepentant behavior. It's the same with some new acquaintances.

[lhasert]

👍 wow! Forgiveness and also requiring the other person to show you their fruit …. Spot on…. Toxic people don’t bear fruit.

[justapseudonym]

I've been stuck at the rehashing phase recently because i fell into a trap then felt like how i used to as a child. But by God's grace I'm going to break out of this cycle.

[bornagain]

Scripture says, "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind"

[gwenkaelin]

God Bless, you sister you can't imagine how much of a blessing you are. God is so using you.

[dovewhite]

I finally made peace with a couple of friends at church whom I had held resentment, anger, unforgiveness, etc. Had to LET IT GO. I want to live blameless for the Lord. ❤❤❤🎉

?This is so fantastic! A great tool for learning. As I have just separated from 21 years of narcissistic abuse in a “Christian” marriage. It’s been just over a year since I took the steps to get out. You make it clearer what I’m trying to say on this topic of Godly forgiveness. The in-laws and his story for my reason for leaving is that I’m bitter and haven’t forgiven. They refuse to accept the fact that my reason for leaving was his narcissistic abuse. This included repeated infidelity for over 20 years. The last time he admitted the adultery was 2014. We were married in 2000. That’s 14 years of repeated adultery with a mistress at his work. There was no real change or repentance or fruit. Then there was the silent treatment, gas lighting, devaluing, and lies. I forgave him all those times. Out of obedience to God & the need to move forward. I often spiritualized his behaviour and saw myself more of a martyr for our marriage than a wife. I’ve also recognized my codependency. That I am working on. That is what also kept me in such a abusive marriage for so long. His family also coerced me and manipulated me to stay all these years as well as Pastors and my own ignorance of the biblical truths of marriage
