I believe that leaving him, and my process of healing since then, is moving along the amends-making beautifully and I feel so very, very grateful that I was given a second chance to return to mothering them the way that I want to, the way that they deserve to be mothered, and that I can do so now without fear of negative repercussions for it. Not everyone is lucky enough to get a second chance before it is too late...I am truly grateful for that!Angel Atwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400100745812977490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-90022090857609221582009-05-14T13:24:00.000-07:002009-05-14T13:24:00.000-07:00When I consider what I would like to make amends f...When I consider what I would like to make amends for the first thing that occurs to me is to make amends to myself for failing in the past to stand up for myself and realize my full potential. When I further consider this also extends to my friends and relatives who would be affected by my not taking opportunities that came to me and not fully developing my abilities that would impact the world and those around me. There is no blame here, all circumstances create the reality that we are and those do not change and I forgive myself and others for perceived shortcomings. I'm sure, given the way things have worked out and the restrictions that seemed to be in place that I did well, but there is always the opportunity to go further, to take the next risk in extending oneself to others particularly, regardless of the fear or discomfort involved, which of course is the theme at this time. I am more willing now to put my defenses aside although they served me well in the past, they maybe served me a little too well.Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-56938742269206299122009-05-14T09:37:00.000-07:002009-05-14T09:37:00.000-07:00I would like to make amends for the times that I w...I would like to make amends for the times that I was so angry at my children that they feared me. I remember what this was like when I was a kid and I swore that I would never do the same thing...and then well...I ended up doing the same thing. My children are precious to me and I love them and they should never be afraid of me.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822992298044627828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-7651134048911260032009-05-14T00:26:00.000-07:002009-05-14T00:26:00.000-07:00my imbalances and my bullying.my imbalances and my bullying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
