There’s no need to be so defensive. Nobody has said anything about being entitled to being in anyone’s lives. You have the right to associate with whoever you want, and you have the option to not associate with whoever you don’t want to. No one is trying to take that away from you, not anymore.

As for forgiveness? You do not forgive someone for their sake, you do it for yours. By accepting that everyone is human and everyone is prone to being selfish occasionally or even doing really bad things, you can accept them for their flaws, and forgive them for being human. You do this not so you can let the other person off the hook for their sins, but so that YOU can let go of the negativity associated with your grudges, let go of the anger in your heart, and try to put your best foot forward. Stop being so contemptous and focus on you. That’s all anyone can really do in the end. You have less time in this world than you think you do, try to enjoy it.
