The solution, as it has been stated by those more eloquent than me, is simply to forgive and move on.
I will repeat what I stated this morning...bitterness is a heart killer.
Should situations/issues be discussed?! Absolutely, but to continue to point out the negative without offering a constructive resolution will only serve to further destroy.
Just my thoughts...

Great post, Barb. I would agree that forgiving the wrongs that we've experienced from people who we trusted is essential for a healthy Christian life.
We tend to loose patience at times with people who process forgiveness slower than we think they should. God made us from the same thread yet we are very unique.
It's that very uniqueness that can build walls between us.
