In most situations in my life I've been able to forgive because I believe in forgiveness as an opportunity to release feelings of anger toward someone and gain peace of mind for myself. However, forgiveness does not always mean wanting that person back in my life.

For really serious offences such as extreme betrayal, abuse, etc. where someone is a threat to my mental, emotional or physical health, I may be able to come to terms with what happened but I couldn't imagine ever having a positive relationship with that person again.
