foreveryoung001 Posted October 15, 2004 Author Share Posted October 15, 2004 Thanks SteveB. I did, as a matter of fact, send a brief email to other board members indicating that there was some tension between this lady and myself. I had the same thought, and would definetly like this to be kept out in the open. I don't want to go into details with them, and point fingers, but I did make them aware that we were having a conflict. Thank you for your thoughts. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair?

I actually did write a comment regarding your post. My computer was acting up last night, and I guess it didn't get posted. Where as I do not always see eye to eye with you on every issue, I have come to respect your opinions very much. As a matter of fact I believe your advice, " maybe this person is "not ready" to forgive. Maybe you have to drop the subject, be friendly as usual, and see what "time" has" Is right on. I do not see this woman often enough to worry about her. My only concern is how she will respond with the board of directors. She is the president of the board, but with the way our power structure is based, it is only a title, and now that I have made the other members aware of our problem, I don't even see this as a major porblem. After having a great workout this morning, I am looking forward to getting out of work tonight and heading back up there. I don't hold class on Friday's, so it will just be me tonight, but I think I could use another personal workout. Student: "Why did you hit that guy with a chair?

Red J Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Your side of the street is clean because you have made amends with this person. Perhaps she is not ready to accept this but she will in time as she sees how you continue to act and treat people with dignity. Eventually, she will come around and recognize your apology as sincere. If she doesn't then she is the one who harbors the resentment and negativity. Try to remember that you have done all that you can do. The acceptance is up to her. If all else fails and you can't get her out of your head then maybe you should start charging her rent! I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.

White Warlock Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 My ex-fiancee', one of the best therapists in California, posed a very powerful, yet simple question to me a long while back: "Why do you give them that much power over you?" It's one you need to answer for yourself, of course.
