Such beautiful wisdom, thank you so much! Also reminds me of the OponoOpono Hawaiian practice of saying many times 'I am sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you."

this is good to read.

Hubbs and I were kind of in a deceptive move, encouraged to drive allllll the way out to my daughter and her husband on that super polluted day back in June (the fires in Canada that turned the sky all orange?) It was pretty bad outside. They insisted we sit outside and have a discussion about the previous year, and the estrangement set on us because.... well, my son in law is a jerk.

After a few discussions over the year, he pronounced that our relationship with their children was over, with their family, was over

So we showed up for this meeting and for two hours we were scolded.

It was a terrible day.

They are ignoring us now entirely.

I have apologised for every single terrible thing I said or they imagined I said.

Such a small disagreement, but I think his pride is what is at the root of this all.

We can not overcome this situation
