To forgive

[Lifes Twists]

Hi GB,

You make good points. I don't expect her to ask for forgiveness or even apologize. I am not even sure I have a definition of forgiveness at this point. I know she is on her own path and she owns what she does. I know that I cannot control anyone other than myself. I hope, like you, that my spouse eventually finds the peace they are looking for. I have accepted this, but have I forgiven it? Forgiveness I think will eventually come when she stops trying to hurt me either directly or through our children. I am not angry, more sad that she feels the need to do this still after almost 2 years.

So my reason for starting this thread was to see others views on what is forgiveness. I see the word and concept thrown around a lot and for me it gets confusing.
