[QUOTE="witzend, post: 629986, member: 99"] I wanted to add that in this theory of forgiveness, the perpetrator has to admit their wrongdoing and apologize, so if you can't forgive your daughter under the circumstances it's only reasonable and you don't have to. Ergo - she isn't sorry so you don't have to forgive her, and if you forget what she did, you're giving her - and others - tacit permission to do it again. So, forgiveness is [I]easy[/I] as soon as she acknowledges the error of her ways - don't hold your breath waiting for it. Forgetting is more difficult because 1) you won't, and 2) you shouldn't. It's a completely different way of looking at forgiving and forgetting than we were all brought up on. [/QUOTE]
