How does one forgive someone for falsely accusing them of child abuse and losing the child you were in the process of adopting?

If you do forgive her, you're a better person than I.

You don't. Or, at least, I wouldn't. I couldn't.

I couldn't. I really could not.

Perhaps they should apologize to the child first.

13e7a3eab6e5937388a30d22b65aab39_normal @Cecilyk

The best advice I've gotten on this? The "I forgive you, but fuck you." Meaning, you grant forgiveness so YOU don't have to

11:32PM Fri, April 30 2010

Qkmwf87e_normal @supermomplace

of course it is easier said than done!

I'm not sure I could. Good luck to you.

god, tanis, good luck. i can't imagine such a dilemma -- thoughts and prayers and my heart to you.

13e7a3eab6e5937388a30d22b65aab39_normal @Cecilyk

carry around the bitter stone that is that resentment. But that does NOT mean that person has to be in your life. You know?

11:32PM Fri, April 30 2010

C1c652b5333b80464b08f30ea65c8492_normal @thebkwyrm

You CAN say no. It's okay to do that, I think.

11:32PM Fri, April 30 2010

Marlahairbandw_normal @avapidblonde

um....I think there are times when forgiveness or forgiving is a mute point.

11:32PM Fri, April 30 2010

New_hair_normal @KSKaraokeKween

If you manage to forgive them... You are a much better person than I... Actually you are that even without that! (hugs)

11:33PM Fri, April 30 2010

3596621355_0572a5a945__2__normal @veryspoiled

That is never to be forgiven or forgotten

5b53492fd44262523668b6acc5039793_normal @pgoodness

one would be a MUCH bigger person than me. I can't help with this one. Though I would be interested in her reasons....

11:33PM Fri, April 30 2010

Casandramsecormpb1b_normal @donnamcondida

So sorry to hear....I was going to say something else, but I don't know what to say, cause this just sucks!

11:33PM Fri, April 30 2010

Dscf4188_normal @FireWifeKatie

Oh wow! Yeah -- that's no small offense! I wonder what she has to say.

11:34PM Fri, April 30 2010

0b6d4b747c22315a5ce00d51a6afd1d8_normal @lonek8

just a guess, but I would say one doesn't. Let it go for your own sake, but don't give them the satisfaction of apology

11:34PM Fri, April 30 2010

Aureliacotta_avatar_twitter_normal @AureliaCotta

If you find out, let me know. I'm not sure I could forgive anyone involved in false accusations of abuse.

11:34PM Fri, April 30 2010

At_20110413_normal @ahmielyn

I try to remember that forgiving the person doesn't mean excusing the behavior. But in this case? She can still hurt you.

11:34PM Fri, April 30 2010

You don't.

3bdd72259ce66f733276dc6e7719f1d7_normal @overflowinbrain

I'm pretty sure you don't. The fact that you can even consider it makes you a much bigger person than me.

11:36PM Fri, April 30 2010

23e8af865348072635d41bdc834ed375_normal @littlemissmocha

I don't know. I can't even imagine. Perhaps a lot of time? Awful.

11:36PM Fri, April 30 2010

Momgraffiti_normal @amaliaday

I know nothing of this situation but my first response would be that you don't have to forgive yet.

11:36PM Fri, April 30 2010

1d4956ed0e6d1b186c4b2f97f3580159_normal @kalisah

forgiveness =/= approval. You can forgive and that doesn't make what they did OK. Just means you choose to not carry grudge.

11:37PM Fri, April 30 2010

You don't?

wow. I think I would have just hung up.

Mod_normal @kristencmcd

I don't... know. But, also... why is HE begging? Isn't... isn't SHE at fault?

11:38PM Fri, April 30 2010

6c28d0cdb328182665ac782e0eeddfc0_normal @greeneyyyzz

That is a tough one.. Maybe in time you can forgive, but right now you have every right to shoot venom out of your eyes.

11:38PM Fri, April 30 2010

Dscn0658_normal @giveherlove

WTF? There is NO forgiveness in that! At least not in my book. You haven't mauled her yet??

11:39PM Fri, April 30 2010

Redmonkey-profile-abq512_normal @enderFP

umm. wow. particularly when you're in the process of adopting now? i don't know.

HE happens to be the childhood best friend of my husband and up until the accusation they were best friends.

11:40PM Fri, April 30 2010

Forgive her for yourself.

Sheeyeah... I don't see it re: forgiving

24d41e17401ae54e2561fdf7ab25a640_normal @anymommy

I sobbed over your story when you wrote it out. If you have any forgiveness in you, you are a way bigger person than I am.

11:43PM Fri, April 30 2010

lots & lots of time & prayer....if then.

dealing with something similar but for me with the person who abused me as a child. so f-ing hard but i'm trying.

I don't know how.

I don't think you can forgive that kind of hurt. Seriously.

ahh you don't forgive. Call me a hardass but somethings aren't forgivable.

12:21AM Sat, May 01 2010

Wow. I don't think I could.

I couldn't forgive. Why does everyone have to forgive? Some things are unforgivable.
