I can truly relate to it, as well. Also, thank you for the email you sent me, it was very helpful.<br /><br />Michael, my father once told me the same thing. It made me feel sorry for the weeds.

Almost my first conversation with my sponsor, I said to her: I need to find a way to forgive my step dad. I was astonished when she said, "that will come." <br /><br />What she said shocked me. I hadn't really meant it. I didn't want to forgive my step dad. I didn't think he deserved to be forgiven.<br /><br />But she wasKathy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266701533758183054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944698796767874000.post-15311443124878294152010-04-25T15:27:02.629-05:002010-04-25T15:27:02.629-05:00Hi Gail,

I commented on it at that time... which was soon after I had crystalized the idea of the Acceptance Ceremony. It has already added to how I'm looking at the ceremony and what I want to get from it.<br /><br />My blog is also about the journey through the darkness to wholeness and Shenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635993168913490929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6944698796767874000.post-46516758561252541872010-04-25T14:51:00.023-05:002010-04-25T14:51:00.023-05:00HI SHEN-

I think you may find it useful along your journey.<br /><br />And in regards to forgiveness? Forgiveness is real only when all hope is released of desiring to change one's past. <br /><br />I NEVER thought I would NOT want to change my pastGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337675996256691215noreply@blogger.com
