How often should you forgive someone for hurting you? At what point should you cut ties?

As for cutting ties, I always remind myself that it is wise to assess the situation and act according to reason, not emotion.
Ultimately, as Marcus Aurelius said,
šš¹If a relationship no longer contributes to your growth or inner tranquility, you are clear that the act on other,s part was not inadvertant instead intentional then it is perfectly rational to step away.
As ,Seneca very rightly told us
The Stoics would say that we cannot control the actions of others,
we can control our response. Holding onto anger only harms you, so forgiveness becomes an act of reclaiming your own peace.

I feel Forgiveness is not about letting someone off the hook it is about releasing yourself from the chains of resentment.
Your act of abondening is purely self care and forgiving in this case doesn't mean remaining in contact too.
ā 'The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
but
Choose to surround yourself with peace, not pain, and trust that the right relationships will align with your path.
You can forgive and for self care can always cut ties.
