>>>Zen, did I ever properly apologize to you? I have a horrible feeling that I haven't, that I've left a nasty chad hanging from a long while ago, and it nags at me.
>>>I appreciate your support; I'm sorry that I have misunderstood you in the past; I am truly, truly sorry for any hurt I have inflicted upon you. I could say that I was a different person then; perhaps my world was tainted with the pall of depression, anxiety, and so much anger at the situation I found myself in.
>>>There's no exuse, and I am so so sorry.
>>>ClearSkies, PartlyCloudy, and Rainday.

CS,

Sorry to have left this thread hanging as your apology took us by surprise (blown away might be another way of putting it). Needed a few days to digest what you had to say.

We've received other apologies over the years through various mediums. Some have been short, sweet and simple. Others have been what the person might have considered an apology but when read carefully suggests that no apologizing is going on.......instead the persons offering the apology basically state "sorry that YOU didn't like how I behaved" or "sorry YOU didn't like my insensitivity" instead of any contrition for their behaviours or actions.

When reading this apology from you here we're struck by the sincerity and heartfelt nature.

Yes, there were many things said and done over this lifetime that were painful. When a person exerts choice to put forth energy into another's life and chooses that energy to be less than positive it can wound more deeply than anyone might guess.

We're very glad you've taken the time to say the above words to us. Your post shows a tremendous level of self awareness and growth. We're very glad to be able to congratulate you on your continued healing and the positive changes you've made and stuck to.

People aren't always what we're told by others. People aren't always who they present themselves to be. But people are humans and humans can be easily hurt.

Fairly amazing what a well-timed apology can do.

With deep gratitude for your ability to express the above to us so eloquently,
--zh
