Forgiveness is frequently presented as forgetting, reconciling, restoring trust, or allowing renewed access. That pressure can erase evidence, accountability, boundaries, and safety-especially when harm has not been acknowledged or repaired. William R. Stanek offers a more careful path: releasing revenge or emotional captivity without rewriting what happened. Through a Relationship Repair Test, you will distinguish forgiveness from trust, contact, reconciliation, and permission. Memory can remain. Boundaries can remain. Your future does not have to be organized around the injury.
