Quotables:
- “Refusing to forgive your in-laws may be one of the reasons you feel stuck and unable to separate yourself from their thoughts, opinions, and judgements of you.”
- “When you forgive, you can’t dictate how your in-laws will respond.”
- “What you are in control of is whether or not you can forgive them.”
- “When you refuse to forgive, you still want something from that person. Even if it is revenge that you want, or just to hear an apology from them for once, not forgiving them will keep you tied to your in-laws forever”
- “Nothing clarifies boundaries more than forgiveness.”
- “The truth of the matter is, if you do not forgive them, you are demanding something your in-laws may not be choosing to give. This ties you to them and ruins boundaries. If you forgive them, you are cutting those ties loose.”
- “Boundaries are not created or established to stop loving.”
