You raise a very good point, Loves Trees. Saying "I forgive you but I never want to see you again" doesn't seem right. What about saying - "I forgive you. If you continue to act this way, I am not going to be around you. When you are ready to make a change, I will be here". That way you can be freed from the burden of holding a grudge or being angry, and you can do the right thing for yourself but not allowing people with bad intentions into your life.
