I wish I had been paid money for each time I thought I had arrived at "forgiveness".
I think you just keep doing it and eventually it sticks. Truth of the matter is that you forgave her the first time you forgave her, if that makes any sense. The rest of it is just you accepting that you forgave her and reminding yourself why.
As for this?

Thanks all for posting and continuing to follow a rather dull story.
Don't know about you, but after all the fireworks, dull and boring was just what I was looking forward to for a bit.
Life goes on Jeff. One day we get tired of watching it go by and choose to step in and be a participant. But it's still ok to just watch for awhile. Sometimes it's what we need.
We had another local family here recently who lost a son in Iraq. It dawned on me that their lives are forever changed. They will grieve, get angry, and eventually come to a form of acceptance with what happened, but their lives will never be the same because of this loss. But you know what? They will continue to live, experiencing all life has to offer, the highs, the lows, and all of the time in between. They might have to watch it go by for awhile too, but eventually they'll jump back in again.
You're a father and a kind and generous man. Don't keep your light under the bushel for too long.
Blessings,
Bill
