Is it wrong to still feel a certain way after someone apologized?

[Anonymous]

So my brother talked to my fiance and said some hurtful things about me and told him he wouldn't blame him if he left. I told my brother how I felt and that he shouldn't be in my relationship. He apologized but I still feel weird. I felt my brother and I's relationship was pretty good, when I was a kid he'd be mean to me. I guess I just wouldn't expect him to do that behind my back. I guess I just need time to get over it even though it hurt.

Nope what you’re feeling is completely valid. Just because someone apologized to you doesn’t mean that it’s going to immediately fix everything. You’re probably going to need some space away from your brother for a bit so that you can process your own feelings of hurt but just make sure to take your time and let yourself feel all the emotions

Yeahh I forgive him but being around him feels weird still. It's like I know people want the best for me but to put me down especially when I'm sick just feels horrible. Feels worse than what people have said about me in the past.

Yeah that’s completely understandable, you trusted him so it must’ve felt like a massive stab in the back. I hope you’ll feel better soon <3
