Love or Addiction...Forgiveness or Excuses?

What if there is someone in your life who has done a lot to hurt you in the past. Terrible things.
But what if deep down they do love you. What if they just have so much self-hatred and their own issues that need some serious sorting out ... that it causes them to hurt themselves and people around them.. who care about them.

Is this me making excuses, or being realistic? Is it wrong to forgive them? Is it wrong to keep them around? What if you stick around because you love them, despite everything. And you see the good in there. You just wish they would see that good in themselves.

What if you know that, if the other person had made different life choices, things could be so different.

Is this naïveness? Is this making excuses for someone, or choosing forgiveness? Is this unconditional love? I don't know. Sometimes I can't tell if it's love or addiction. I've never had such a problem letting go. Does it mean I shouldn't?
