Question by Katie: How can you forgive someone who is not sorry for wronging you?
I have been hurt someone and they are not sorry for what they’ve done. I have tried to communicate with this person and they won’t apologize to me, and said “they’re mad” at me. I did not do anything, this person hurt me.
