Hey, I know this is kind of a vague question, but what do you do if a close friend a family member a friend does something really bad that you never thought they would do? Or something that seems bad but you're not entirely sure is bad?

You should not offer forgiveness if it is not something you are able to give. Despite any confusion, you know in your heart whether or not you wish to let this person in again.

Doing so may only cause you more pain in the future, but it is the nature of living, and of love.

I want to let the old him in badly. But I don't even know if the old him even exists anymore, or if it did to begin with.

It is not something you can know without being close to him, and the answer will only be clear once you have made yourself vulnerable. You must decide, is he worth the pain he may put you in? For there will be no reassurances, and no protection if you want to know his heart.

It'll be some time until I can see him again, let alone get close. At least that means more time to think about things, I guess.

Thank you, though. Even though you didn't really give me any answers, I think your words will help me the most.

I do not think that anyone besides yourself is truly able to answer your questions.

You are welcome. I'm glad.
