Love is Jesus Christ, we can only love through Him.
Love is doing what's best for those we love, not necessarily what they like.
Psychology teaches that everyone is a victim therefore we must be careful with everyone no matter how terrible they are to others.
The victims of wicked people are abused through pressure to forgive mean people. It's not God Who teaches what psychology teaches.
It is love to discipline bad people, it is love to comfort victims. Everyone in the world could claim they have been victimized by someone else at one time or another, this can never be an excuse to victimize others.
We have all fallen short of righteousness at one time or another. There are no excuses for emotionally or verbally abusing others.
God clearly stated that we are to bless those who curse us, remove ourselves from them if we can, and never exact revenge on anyone.
Luke 6:26-28 "26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way. 27 But to those of you who will listen, I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you."
Romans 3:10-12
"As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
Romans 12:18-20 "…18 If it is possible on your part, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 On the contrary, “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head.”…"
