FIDO - Changing the Rules Pt 3

[Dawgs]

If I couldn't forgive, I wouldn't still here, but I'll never forget.

Is this normal during piecing?

First, I want to say it really seems that things are looking great for you! Baby steps and time. Repeat: baby steps and time! I keep waiting and waiting for our situation to get to that level. The best I have is a candle at the end of the tunnel and at least a thinning of the fog... I am happy for you!

Forgetting and forgiving are not one in the same. You will never forget, as well you shouldn't because it keeps things from repeating. The fact that you have forgiven means you are way past that. Way past. Not many can truly forgive, and with time you won't truly forget, but it won't be brought to the surface, either.

Intellectually I know the path is not straight, just hard to feel that patience sometimes. Without a doubt things are on an upward trajectory right now.

Patience is probably the hardest thing to achieve. Heck, my four year old told me to "have patience, Daddy." haha...

Are you suggesting that I should consider calling out the pursuer/pursued dynamic?

I am confused on why you would want to bring that to her attention? It may work, but may also have the opposite effect, too.
