PURPS- I agree with everything you say. It does take time for some people to say sorry, more for some than others . But I feel what is important is to remember we all blunder and stumble on our words at times. There is a big difference between someone blundering on their words and offending unintentionally , than someone who cuts the earth out from underneath someone intentionally though. I feel you are one of our upper echelon female posters on the board, and I respect your takes immensely. peace out to ya sis, Mr. Flipper

I agree with you too Mr Flipper
Sometimes we are just sorry something happened.......and that does not mean we admit anything we did is wrong, We don't have to be wrong to be sorry.
a Christmas card for the Flippers, thought of you instantly when I saw it.

Sometimes it makes great practice to forgive as freely as you want to be forgiven. It's tough, trying not to offend anyone, even if you say nothing people would get upset because you aren't talking to them.
All you can really do is be apologetic and not make the same mistake twice.
Nice post.

nightly i compose in my head the letter(s) i need to write to my children (23,20,17,14) admitting my error and apologizing for a hope that turned out to be a sham.... love gone awry and a history of horror linked to my being duped by an eloquent machine.... i am desperate to release them from any residual consideration of MY attachment to the borg..... decidedly i will direct them to this site.....
it does take time to steel oneself to the reality that harm, genuine HARM, not just hurt, has been accrued to others by one's actions, thoughts and beliefs..... i expect full reconciliation and forgiveness from them, and will have to allow it from myself at some point.....
i couldnt be sorrier for what i brought into their lives....
maybe that is the long and the short of it...... they will get it
godspeed
