Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 I'm not as generous. My nada asked me a few weeks ago if I would forgive her for 'whatever I thought she may have done to me'; I told her that forgiveness is a partner of making amends, that she needed to correct the untruths that she has told. She brushed me off; told me that she would have 'no conditions' put upon her. So...I suppose that she has rejected my 'conditional' forgiveness.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Hey Carol, I think the process you are struggling to go through with your Nada is reconciliation, which would require her to take responsibilty for her part of the problem. Forgiveness only releases YOU from her bond. Not that forgiveness is an easy thing either... Carol M sent a great forgiveness metaphor many months back. You are a ship and Nada is the anchor. When you forgive her, you cut the anchor and sail out of the harbor with new freedom. Blessings, > I'm not as generous.
