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

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.
but
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.

The Stoics would say that we cannot control the actions of others,
Ultimately, as Marcus Aurelius said,
ā 'The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
What is a challenge you never want to face?
we can control our response. Holding onto anger only harms you, so forgiveness becomes an act of reclaiming your own peace.
You can forgive and for self care can always cut ties.
Choose to surround yourself with peace, not pain, and trust that the right relationships will align with your path.
As for cutting ties, I always remind myself that it is wise to assess the situation and act according to reason, not emotion.
You are not abandoning anyone youā are simply protecting your own harmony.
