Find a new way to understand what happened and take responsibility for our part.
Understand that each person gave us what they could at that time.
Recognize that our expectations and demands of them are what cause our present pain.
Give up judging, rejecting or criticizing others: Stop labeling people as good or bad.
Take a critical look our own expectations and realize that we can never hope to have them all met by one person or another.
      When my own loving heart is fully developed, I can fulfill my own expectations and whatever else I am yearning for. Only after I've forgiven am I free to let new hope and love and confidence into my world. Only then am I free to truly live in the present.
      I can do it,I must do it.

      Forgiving is not forgetting...
      And you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free
