Re: Please Forgive me all, did not mean to hurt anyone

[Guest guest]

JoAnn- You did what you needed to do and that was to take care of yourself You have no need to apologize for anything for your actions or for what you wrote. Can I suggest to the group that that if they are writing about abuse, religion, politics, etc. that they clearly mark that in the subject line? That way those of us who might have difficulty with those topics could delete the post without having read it (and in some cases, possibly being emotionally triggered by it)? Again, JoAnn, you're a dear....not "not nice" or unkind in any way shape, or form. Please try, my friend, to not be so hard on yourself. You're loved.

Please forgive me my family. I wrote a quick, note the other day saying something about not wanting to be a part of talk on abuse......and was very upset by it. Please forgive me as this is the place we should all say and talk about how we hurt and let our needs be known or help others understand us.

I wrote one time about some small parts of my life maybe, year ago, not sure anymore when wrote it. But I have a story that started at earliest memory of 3 and went until in late 20's and into 30's really. Point being I generally never speak of it, just like do not speak of in direct words about end of March and May of this year. I hide things and cannot, don't like it to be thinking of life when hurts. So anyway when ya'll were writing you were doing what helped you all, and others and that is great, wonderful and glad you could do this. Really am happy for each of you as want you to feel loved and understood and also be able to help others in similar situation.

But when came home and turned on email I do not know my friends, it just panicked me. Froze my heart, and ran as fast as could away from this. Please do not hate me, or think I am not one to have empathy with each of you. I know alot of you that talk with have dealt with abuse, and do not mind talking about it with you. Just for some reason when saw it other day hit me wrong.

Well wrote novel which you all can say this is awful. So I acted awful, I am not nice, or kind, I am just sorry. Sorry will miss all the emails as must delete them. If anyone wrote me directly, if want to please in 2 or 3 days please write me again and if anyone knows of a situation going on that you know I would be wanting to know so could write to that person would you let me know?

But all in all, just know I do ask forgiveness but understand if do not want to give it. I just had to run. And I did. With love

JoAnn--I wasn't in the conversation about abuse. I've been out of the loop for a bit. But I just read your letter to everyone. I'm sure everyone understands your reasons for doing and saying what you did ; and don't hold it against you. Probably the hardest person being critical on you is yourself. We all do that.Hope you are feeling better... JoAnn & Russ Ford wrote:

JoAnn,

There is nothing to forgive.. you have every right not to participate in a conversation about something that upsets you.

I am the same way, there are certain things that I simply cannot deal with and, therefore, don't. It is much easier for me not to deal with some things than to have to go through the horror of the emotions of them.

Hugs,

Jo

I hide things and cannot, don't like it to be thinking of life when hurts. So anyway when ya'll were writing you were doing what helped you all, and others and that is great, wonderful and glad you could do this. Really am happy for each of you as want you to feel loved and understood and also be able to help others in similar situation.

But when came home and turned on email I do not know my friends, it just panicked me. Froze my heart, and ran as fast as could away from this. Please do not hate me, or think I am not one to have empathy with each of you. I know alot of you that talk with have dealt with abuse, and do not mind talking about it with you. Just for some reason when saw it other day hit me wrong.

Well wrote novel which you all can say this is awful. So I acted awful, I am not nice, or kind, I am just sorry. Sorry will miss all the emails as must delete them. If anyone wrote me directly, if want to please in 2 or 3 days please write me again and if anyone knows of a situation going on that you know I would be wanting to know so could write to that person would you let me know?

But all in all, just know I do ask forgiveness but understand if do not want to give it. I just had to run. And I did. With love

Re: Please Forgive me all, did not mean to hurt anyone

JoAnn--I wasn't in the conversation about abuse. I've been out of the loop for a bit. But I just read your letter to everyone. I'm sure everyone understands your reasons for doing and saying what you did ; and don't hold it against you. Probably the hardest person being critical on you is yourself. We all do that.Hope you are feeling better... JoAnn & Russ Ford wrote:

Please forgive me my family. I wrote a quick, note the other day saying something about not wanting to be a part of talk on abuse......and was very upset by it. Please forgive me as this is the place we should all say and talk about how we hurt and let our needs be known or help others understand us.

I wrote one time about some small parts of my life maybe, year ago, not sure anymore when wrote it. But I have a story that started at earliest memory of 3 and went until in late 20's and into 30's really.

Re: Please Forgive me all, did not mean to hurt anyone

JoAnn,

There is nothing to forgive.. you have every right not to participate in a conversation about something that upsets you.

I am the same way, there are certain things that I simply cannot deal with and, therefore, don't. It is much easier for me not to deal with some things than to have to go through the horror of the emotions of them.

Hugs,

Jo

Barbara,

That is a great suggestion. I am sorry that it never even occurred to me to do that. Next time I will be sure to give people a warning,

Thanks again Barbara for your great idea!

-- Re: Please Forgive me all, did not mean to hurt anyone

JoAnn- You did what you needed to do and that was to take care of yourself You have no need to apologize for anything for your actions or for what you wrote. Can I suggest to the group that that if they are writing about abuse, religion, politics, etc. that they clearly mark that in the subject line? That way those of us who might have difficulty with those topics could delete the post without having read it (and in some cases, possibly being emotionally triggered by it)? Again, JoAnn, you're a dear....not "not nice" or unkind in any way shape, or form. Please try, my friend, to not be so hard on yourself. You're loved.
