As they say, we don`t ask for forgiveness and amends for others, we do it for ourselves and our own peace of mind. It doesn`t matter if the other person accept and forgives or not, it is about me and my heart, and lighting the load of guilt, blame and shame I carried for so many years.
My God is forgiving, why shouldn`t I forgive myself. As I have shared before, when I was in therapy at 6 years sober, a counsellor asked me, ``Why haven`t you forgiven yourself.`` I was shocked, couldn`t say a word which isn`t normal for me, and looked at her and said, `I never thought to ask.`
