[…] Me? I’m watching the Hallmark Channel hoping for a good cry. Golden Girls just came on and the theme song incited weeping. Pathetic. Let’s all roll our eyes and hate me for a second. Okay. Done. Now, let’s talk BlogHer. […]

In reply to Adelle @ ready…GO!…get set.

Oh, Adelle, I’m sorry you had to go through it. I’m glad to hear that you’ve made progress on forgiving yourself. That’s been a struggle for me. Overall, things are much better. We’re making strides. But, ugh, I hate that I created this big mess with my big mouth!

I’m writhing a bit. This was SO familiar. Not recent, but not so long ago that I don’t remember the horror of it all. I’ll never stop regretting.

My number one rule: don’t respond via email. EVER. Words are deadly and leave permanent scars.

What did I do to repair? I begged for mercy. I wept gallons. I wrote new letters full of praise and regret and apology. They forgave me. I forgave myself (I think). I prayed for absolution. And most importantly…time.

I like your list of goals. I’m looking forward to reading about them.

In reply to Naked Girl in a Dress.

You’re absolutely right. Moms are the smartest (don’t we hope our kids say that one day?!). Thank you for kind advice – it’s appreciated. I see a light at the end of this tunnel – it’s small and far away, but at least I can see it!

In reply to Cheryl @ Mommypants.

Thanks, Cheryl. Wouldn’t it be nice to stress starve instead of stress eat? Oh well…

Things are already improving – slowly, but I see progress. Important lessons learned, for sure!

It totally sounds like my mom giving advice when I was a kid, but here goes; if the person is really your friend, she will accept the apology and forgive you. If not, she really wasn’t your friend. My mom always told me that. And you know what? She was right. A friend who doesn’t allow you to be human (read: fail at times) is not someone you need in your life.

You have made amends. It is out of your hands now.

My other advice: be kind to yourself. Time for you to let it go.

Aw..sorry last month was so tough for you! But the fact you are aware of hurt you have caused and are sick over it means you will work to change, so some good will come of it. I also eat like a crazy person when I’m stressed, so I’m with you!
