[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 410075"] Writing that book you are writing alone is a process of forgiveness though isn't it? You have to work through these issues while writing them down into the book. You are in the first phase of self forgiveness - staring in that mirror and facing the choices and actions that hurt others. Remorse and forgiveness are about changing your behaviors to avoid the actions and behaviors that hurt people or a person. There is a difference between guilt and remorse too - guilt signifies being angry in getting caught and what that does to your public image - remorse signifies feeling sadness and changing the behaviors. Not doing what hurt people in the first place. Also remorse is changing behaviors and saying "I'm sorry" genuinely. Second phase of self forgiveness (you are partially in) is listening to the inner self. Listen to what the inner you is saying - face it, take heed of it and saying sorry to yourself isn't as dumb as it sounds. Literally standing at a mirror and saying "I'm sorry for XYZ self" is rather cathartic. Your book is your path to self forgiveness. [/QUOTE]
