[QUOTE="DDD, post: 303420, member: 35"] I agree with the others. Also, I don't know how one expresses remorse in a way that is deemed adequate by others. Deep emotions like love, fear, anquish, remorse and even happiness are not "sharable" in a way that assures the word receiver is actually receiving the depth of the message. Often watching programs like real court hearings I hear jury members say after the trial "yes, the defendant did [I]say he was sorry[/I] but it didn't seem to me that he was [I]really[/I] sorry". Children, teens and adults express feelings in unique ways.....and receive messages differently. If someone cries and sobs and begs forgiveness it doesn't mean to me that they are really sorry. If someone quietly says I'm really sorry with-o details they could be feeling the anquish of built much more deeply. It's complicated judging the sincerity of others....even our own kids.
