It is okay to remove toxic people from your life. It is okay to put yourself before others that hurt you. However no situation is a justified reason not to forgive. The Word of God commands us to forgive others as God first forgave us. (Ephesians 4:32) This is not an option for us. Is it always easy? Of course not especially in severe situations but we are called to forgive. Don't miss your blessing because of unresolved feelings of forgiveness. This is about your well being and your relationship with God no one else. And remember forgiveness is not forgetting.
"Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven." Matthew 18:21-22
