p.s. at last, forgiveness-tiki

December 22, 2003

rhythm method--it's hard to see " forgive the abusers " --because i still knee

jerk and see it as excuse the abusers--and this is no way. abuse is still very

wrong and something to stay away from. forgiving means that it no longer owns

you. i loved this metaphor that said the ship parting from the anchor benefits

the ship, not the anchor. it frees the ship to travel, no longer holding you

back. i still don't have the concept etched in stone but will refer to this

forgiveness email--i posted it so that i could have a record for myself as to

what forgiveness is. it's so new but it's pretty cool. tranquility. tiki

free spirit & tiki -- are you saying eventually you learn to forgive

the abuser/abusers? I'm glad you could do that -- sounds like a

healthy thing to do. I am no where near that right now. I still feel

like confronting everyone involved -- not that it would change

anything. I'm not going to act, but I think about it a lot. Damn, this

is hard.
