Forgiving myself
Hello everyone, I’m a 42 yr old woman who made (in my eyes)pretty big mistakes. I suffered trauma as a teenager by an ex boyfriend and slept with him again when I was 19 or 20. People believe I lied about the trauma because I slept with him. I blocked the incident out . I don’t know how to move past this.
I understand, a close friend told me to write myself a forgiveness letter daily and burn it daily until I felt I had forgiven myself. I been doing this for months because my traumas are big ones. Hope this helps , your not alone in your pain. It's ok to make mistakes. After all we are only human . Best, ABB
Thank you! I will try this. I’m sending you love and light on your journey to forgiveness. IS
In moments of feeling deep regret over stupid shit I’ve done in the past, I like to imagine that present me travels to the past like a ghost and is gently whispering to my part self’s ear that “it’ll all be okay”
Thank you for that. 💜
I can see why you blocked it out. People will believe anything - including lies that they made up in their head. But you know the truth. And I know many people who have slept with their ex. You are not the only one. But I know that forgiveness can come hard-especially when you are trying to forgive yourself. And don't worry about the lies. You know the truth and can speak about it here. I don't believe that you are lying and I hardly know you.
Thank you 🌼
