Vanilla believes that one cannot "earn" trust. I think she even referred to it being abusive to require one to earn back your trust. She refers to the term, "atone"........which, is probably more accurate.
That is an interesting take....one I am not sure about. "Abusive to require one to earn back your trust?" This jumped out at me. I don't want to derail this thread so I will be glad to take this to a different thread to discuss. Quickly, forgiveness requires repentance. sandi I know you know that a repentance is a turning around and going the other direction. It is more than just remorse for what you have done. I am not sure how I determine if another human-being has truly repented unless their actions thereafter are consistent in that turning away and going the other direction.
