I have learnt something this week which I needed to know and would want to know but really wish I didn't have to know.
I find myself apologising for what happened - even though it was before I was born! Then a friend, without being told what had come to light recognised something was wrong and said to me:
"I have come to accept we should not judge ourselves on other peoples faults!"
Her words of wisdom were perfectly timed. I still need to come to terms with the information, but I know none of it is my responsibility and as such I cannot bear any guilt.
She is right and I guess this is a family issue, we shouldn't bear any guilt for any other family member's faults! -HMx
ReplyDeleteVery wise words from your friend! PS -- I highlighted your blog on BMB.
