Steps of knowing that you've truly forgiven:

1. Stop bringing up the offense to the offender.
2. Stop bringing up the offense to others (except here of course).
AND THE HARDEST OF ALL....
3. Stop bringing the offense up to yourself.



Wow, this was great to read this. I've thought about that quite a bit, have I really forgiven him? I think I have when I read 1,2,3. I was concerned because for #2 I vent here about it in what I felt was too much too often, but it's the only place I do vent as I have no family and just one friend off this board that I used to talk to about this but don't anymore. Now the real question I have to answer, how do I let H know about this 'forgiveness'? How do I approach the subject without bringing up the offense?
