Scenario

When friends seek forgiveness you cannot grant

My college roommate's family owns land that was part of a plantation and she keeps talking about turning it into a memorial, but every conversation feels like she wants me to absolve her of something I cannot fix.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire for personal absolution places an inappropriate burden on relationships across lines of historical harm.
