I am so sorry you feel this way, but at the same time, it's hard to read that you are loving and forgiving enemies when you are talking about a church split.
Are you truly enemies? do you see these as enemies of God, or as brothers and sisters in Christ that you may disagree with?
I've been through what you are talking about, I've seen it, but I don't let it change my relationship with God, or His people.
Again, I don't know your church, and I don't know the details of what happened. Frankly I don't want to. BUT if past problems can't be left in the past and Christians stand together (even if that "together" is separately) then something doesn't fit with scripture.
I am not taking sides or saying who was right or wrong, but it seems to me that at some point scripturally we have to move ahead.

I as well dont know this situation but i feel for "christian" i understand and will be praying for you.
Now I have to say it should not be an "enemies" thing but to be honest there are people who you love and that have loved you the will turn on you and be your "enemie" when one works against you and all you do that is somehting an enemie does. Your enemie wants your failure and defeat, this does happen. so sad but it does

I think you're about to convince me to do just that, move ahead and leave this to God.
That's exactly what is needed, don't carry around the hurt and hard feelings regardless of who was "at fault" or what was done, just trust God and continue on. If that is as a part of the CoGoP, along side the CoGoP, or away from the CoGoP that doesn't matter, but in any aspect know that you have brothers and sisters here who do care.
