Actually, I'm not at all good at forgiveness. Family of origin issues and all that--mom was involved with an abusive alcoholic from the time I was 10 until I went to college. Saw the abuse cycle over and over, she forgave him over and over for beating us both up, kept taking him back when all I wanted was to be safe. That's my example of forgiveness--outright codependence. So I don't really know how to "let it go" without feeling like I have no boundaries. I've been working on that one most of my life and I know I've made progress. But I have a long way to go. I'm not sure I was ever truly able to forgive H when he left me (just as our dating relationship began to become serious, and while I was being stalked by a prior xh) to enter a monastery--one last shot at Catholic priesthood. No, I'm not making this up.
Any ideas? Because there will be a lot of forgiving to do as I move through this MLC/A/separation, both with H and with those who cut me off.
Well, alrighty then...you've got your work cut out for you, huh?
Let's not worry about that now. All in good time, my pretty, all in good time
More on treating you WELL.
