It allows a person to heal, but still acknowledge life events that were hard but shaped them. Thank you so much for your supportive comments.Fred (Nic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10984761380573705537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362382.post-1154417066459626642006-08-01T02:24:00.000-05:002006-08-01T02:24:00.000-05:00I totally understand that struggle.

I know that their are people in my family that If they were not related to me, i would probably choose not to have them in my life. <BR/><BR/>I think you are doing the right thing. My Dad is gone and so I have a soft spot for Dad's but at the same time, you have to watch out for your own well being. <BR/><BR/>My advice would be to forgive but not necessarly forget. I always forgive but I also remember how I was hurt in the past so I can protect myself in the future. <BR/><BR/>Some may say that in not the thing to do but I honestly am able to forgive. <BR/><BR/>Now I am rambling. We have a lot in common!<BR/>LOLGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508213573891885604noreply@blogger.com
