Hello housewife-
First I would like to express how much I respect you. Only a special person can forgive....truly forgive to the point they are willing to except a sincere apology, move past the issue, and question the consequences for the other person.
You are brave. You posted a question that many of us have asked to ourselves and wanted to discuss (I know I have) but most of us dared not to initiate this thread. Perhaps with concern as to how others will react, because no one wants to be the source of more conflict right now. You have reinforced my respect for you.

As long as this discussion remains respectful, this is a healthly step towards salvaging and moving forward for our beloved forum. Although this thread will probably be moved....it warrants a response. To ask, to answer, to productively discuss issues in a possitive respectful way is what this forum is for.
So, I submit....we take this opportunity and utilize this thread for the good.
