ANGER/Unforgiveness is like taking poison and hoping someone else will die...

You should forgive them, at least in your mind, ...you don't actually have to tell them.
But let go of the anger and bitterness you feel. It is only damaging to YOU and your
health. Forgiving them is more for you than them. Just try to look at it as they did
the best they could with what they knew, and forgive them. If being around them is
TOXIC for you, you don't have to put yourself around toxic people, but forgiveness can
bring peace to your life.
