Thank you Allan! You are enlightening and insightful. I couldn't agree with you more. I enjoy the awakening and analyzation strategies that you appear to as well. Wishing you All is Well, Anne Kronborg
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope that your children are patient as this was posted in August and I just transcribed it now. It was nice to see your children reached out to you and that you are able to re-connect with them and hopefully this is the start of wonderful journey for you all!
I will always live with the scars of the abuse I suffered as a child. I think depression and anxiety are things I will struggle with for the rest of my life.
I haven't talked to my father in over a decade, and I hold a tremendous amount of resentment towards him.
However, as I've gotten older, the resentment I have is not so much towards past wounds--those were so long ago now, and I can't imagine a life without them. My anger is towards the fact that he has never apologized. He's never attempted to prove to me that he was capable of change.
Your letter resonated to me because it's the letter I always hoped I'd get from my parents. It's beautiful. It shows how hard you're trying.
My mother acknowledged some of her mistakes to me when I was a teenager, but I wasn't ready to hear her apology yet. After a few tries, she gave up.
Ten years later, I wish she hadn't. If she could try again, it would mean so much.
What I want to tell you is: Don't give up.
It might be a year, five years, or ten. But I believe if a human being sees a continuous effort from someone who cares for them deeply, it would be very difficult for them not to be moved. Best of luck to you. So proud of your strength and your ability to overcome your past and become a person worthy of great love.
I saw a show about an American Prison on the East Coast a few weeks ago. Most of the show was about the negative side of solitary confinement; cons kicking windows, cutting themselves and going insane with boredom. The new Governor is reducing the number of cons in solitary cos it doesn't work!
Bill, Thank you for that little reminder of who I am & the love we've shared,bare with me for I'm weighting this through tear blind eyes so I can't even go over what I've already written. I only know if I don't get this out to you now it'll never get there so we may both end ep getting a laugh out ta this. Since the kids have been returning themselves back to us(& what amazing kids we've been Blessed with) true forgiveness has fallen upon me, not only towards you but for myself as well, and I can read your blogs with a pure heart & remember what we had before we got all spun out was something most people will never experience in a life time, & a love as true as ours truly never dies,and the power of such a love is why our children are so amazing and I'm talking about all of them from Heather down to Allen (AJ) Thank you Bill for the experience of a lifetime!! I'm closing for now but will get back to you, that "My only Sunshine got to me"
