So, a couple of days ago an old boyfriend friended me on facebook. We hadn't seen each other since I was 19. Weird I thought but accepted his friend request, mainly out of curiosity. He messaged me right away. Seems that he had been an alcoholic and drug user for most of his adult life and had finally become clean about a year ago. Him reaching out to me was making amends and asking my forgiveness. Of course I had already forgiven him many years ago and was genuinely happy for him for getting sober. We chatted for a little while catching up on each others lives. I asked him about his son. Last time I saw him, his then girlfriend was pregnant. He told me they broke up before his son was born and she asked him to never contact her or try to see his son ever. So he didn't. I told him if he is trying to make amends with people she would be number one on his list and his son had a right to know about his father. Of course he was concerned about what kind of reaction he would get or if he could even find them. I told him, what do you have to loose? Just try. He found them! After the initial shock, both his ex girlfriend and his son were happy to hear from him. He had a three hour conversation with his son this morning and found out he is a grandfather as well. He called me today and repeatedly thanked me for giving him this guidance. I feel so good about having had such a positive influence on this situation. His life and his sons life have now forever changed for the better. Also made me realize that holding on to the resentment towards my husband is a stupid thing. I forgive him for leaving me at the worst time of my life. Both of our lives have now changed for the better. Whatever will be, will be. We will work on our respective issues alone and on our marriage together. I see a bright future ahead of me.
