[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 253568, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Steely ~ forgiveness may be a long time coming. It would be no different if you were to be abused by a parent or a spouse. When my tweedles (especially wm) were physically abusive toward me I felt the same hate, the same anger & fear that I would have felt if it were my husband. I hated that fear in myself. Saying that, I can forgive the actions of my children. Whether my children apologize or not for their abuses I can forgive the actions. The intent behind those actions is another story at this time of my life. Like others here, I doubt I will ever "trust" being alone with wm. With kt, of late, it's more the verbal abuse. And the intent behind it. I struggle to accept "mental illness" when it is so clearly, so blatantly said with malice & knowledge of the hurt it will inflict. The immediate apology & goofy smile afterward tells me this. I continue to see a therapist; kt & wm continue to learn (daily) that words & actions may be forgiven but seldom are forgotten, especially if it's of a negative content. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
