I was just reading a quote about forgiveness. I always have struggled with forgiving people, and also forgiving myself, I think.

The quote said forgiving is to “make peace” with it. I like that better than the word forgiveness.

Even  though forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook for the wrong they’ve done you, I can’t seem to think of the word “forgive” any other way.

I need to start making peace with this situation. For myself, because it’s eating me up.

You’re right about having compassion for myself. Some self-care is in order, I think.

I emailed my BIL yesterday to ask when we might expect a deposit this week as he promised and he has not responded. I guess avoidance is the game they are playing now.

My husband isn’t keen on me making a big scene about this. I feel I’m in an awkward position.
