Do you think the circumstances would be different if she had been negligent in some way or hadn't taken accountability? I was rear ended by a drunk driver who plead not guilty in court, and I have such an issue forgiving him for the lifelong injuries he has given me. It's been almost 7 years and I'm still struggling to come to terms with all this issues I have with the way he handled the situation. I've heard many preachy people saying forgiveness comes from within but when someone is so blatantly unapologetic for causing you nearly fatal injuries, it's a struggle to not have some complex feelings about the situation.

Okay I'm not arguing with you. I explained what I meant. My question was directed to OP. Thank you.

Running a red light can very much be an accident. I get that she was off her meds though. I mean negligent in the sense of she wasn't drunk or high, as that was the situation in which I am in.

I've accepted what happened to me and have come to terms with my injury and the issues I'll have for the rest of my life, it's just his smug ass face that gets to me. I see him staring at me and smiling as he walks out of the courtroom and then literally running away when his lawyer pointed me out to him. I just can't turn it off when I think about it. In my day to day it doesn't affect me, but in situations like this or in the court proceedings I'm still going through it gets to me. I know it's an issue and I'm actively working on it, it's just a little difficult to come to terms with. And also the fact that I'm an incredibly empathetic person and can't imagine just not caring that I almost killed someone. It's unfathomable to me.
