She's never shown any remorse either, but my decision to forgive her has nothing to do with that. I've seen many times on this board that "forgiveness is a gift you give yourself". Doing what I have (something that I couldn't possibly have imagined doing even a short time ago) has definitely had a positive impact on me...I feel more 'at ease' I feel much less 'torn up'. It seems 'more peaceful' spiritually and emotionally to me. I feel like I took a big step...and I feel like I'm really making progress since my decision last Halloween to start letting go and moving forward.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
