((antlers)) I hear your pain that comes with recognizing the hurt your actions in the past inflicted on your family & the corresponding regret that you can not change that. I hope you can forgive yourself & come to peace with the pain and regret. Without it you wouldn't be the man you are today... I see you are in this forum now... hope we can support each other as we move into singlehood.
Bridge, I am still in the process of forgiving myself. I am doing it, it just takes time. Coming to peace with the pain and regret is something else. I know I need to, I'm just not there yet. I know that I have to get there though. I wish it hadn't taken all of this in order for me to become a better man...but it did, and I am. That's a damn shame too. Yep, I'm here now. I hope we can support each other as we move forward too.
