You Are Not Receiving That Apology. Move On!
The ego wants closure, but what do you need?
The truth is that there are people in your past who do not feel bad about how they treated you or took you for granted. And if you gave them another chance to explain themselves they will have no remorse for how things transpired between you two. Instead of imagining the what-ifs, because you truly do not know if you will receive any apology or not, stand in your now.
Where are you right now? Who are you right now? I can imagine that you are in a better place physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially because you eventually moved on, correct?
Running back to what hurt you in hopes that your ego’s curiosity will finally be extinguished is you opening a portal of trauma that was shut a long time ago. If you are angry at how that relationship ended abruptly, that’s okay. But do you really think you will receive a response from this person that will suddenly mitigate this anger and make you feel good about yourself, if you receive a response at all?
Give yourself permission to forgive the old you who accepted any type of abusive treatment and close that chapter in your life emotionally, even though you physically moved on a long time ago. That’s your version of closure.
