a young man with hope II

Vanilla,

Your thoughts about forgiveness make a great deal of sense to me. My ultimate goal has shifted to trying to do what's best for my son. While that has always been the main goal, I thought for a long time that what is best for him is to have a reconciled mother and father. However, as that is no longer a possibility, I see now that what is best for him is for his mother and I to work together and have as good of a relationship as possible - which is where the forgiveness comes in. I wish that I could put everything behind me and just focus on a good relationship with her for S's sake, but I strongly feel that forgiving her and ultimately forgiving myself is the clearest way that I can do so.

Thanks for reading, V.
