We have a neighbor who drinks. For years he bothered us, damaged our property, spit at me and other family members.
He had a stroke around 3 years ago and we all did the right thing, we were kind and helpful. He was actually a nice guy for a few weeks. And then… He started drinking again.
The crazy man that he used to be came back big time. He started cursing us out, he trys to scare my kids (he is successful at time), he spits at us all the time and trying to do whatever damage he can.
Sometimes it’s difficult to be the bigger person and not react.. but for Charlotte’s זכות I forgive him. I realize this will be a constant act cuz every day bring new things forgive. But bh I forgive him and hope he has a chance to לחזור בתשובה. But either way no hatred, no anger, just forgiveness.
