What an amazing post, verne. You express things so well.
You sound just like the rest of us - a perfectly flawed human being. I think we've all made these sorts of mistakes in life. Humans hurt one another. So much of your description fits me like a glove, too. All we can do is keep trying and move on forward each day and try to be more like what we want to be and less like that person who has to wish s/he could take back so much....not so *&&^%^ easy, not at all....'specially with these lovely mental health issues always in the way....
I've known Deneb for a while. It was great, all the things you wrote to her, but I'll bet it's really possible she *is* over it and does forgive you. My take on forgiveness is that it's way more about the person doing the forgiving than the person receiving the forgiveness.
Hope I haven't been intrusive here. I just was touched by your post. It's takes a special will and strength to speak - and publicly, too - about something we've done wrong. I often can't find it in me - too proud and embarrassed, I suppose. I choose running away, many times.
You didn't. I think that's huge.
