K.... Rob, sorry, I feel dense but I don't get it.

I've talked to Ian and Scottie about this before but I think what you term as forgiveness, I term as acceptance. To me forgiveness does involve two people.

Hi Dana,

Catching up after a long weekend. I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I'll just respond to your final comment and we can move this to the back burner for a while.

Maybe we are just arguing semantics here, but I still recommend you think of forgiveness as being purely about your own feelings, and let go of expectations that he either deserves forgiveness, or that he will respond in some way. As long as your happiness and peace of mind depends on his past or future actions, you are giving away some of the control of your life. It doesn't mean that you like what he has done or continues to do - it just means that you are not going to let your joy in life be based on his actions any more.

OK, on to other stuff. Sounds like you had a fantastic, GALful, PMAful weekend - GO YOU!
