Thanks Rebecca,

I appreciated your response. I agree it will be a process, not a one time thing. I think I tend to cling to past mistakes and the guilt, instead of letting it go and moving forward. Something I guess I just need to keep working on. As Anne of Green Gables says, "Tomorrow is a brand new day with no mistakes in it!" Reading the e-mails on the list is definitely a beginning in the healing process.

Amy

Amy , I'm still dealing with quilt... I begin to wash that feeling away but than I slip into 'old' parenting style and than the quilt process starts all over... I think that we just have to keep learning to forgive ourselves and soon we can let it go. yesterday I was talking to my oldest whose now 7 and I asked him if he remembers when I use to spank or time out too much -- he said no ... so sometimes I think we worry too much about that!! granted I want to continue towards a even more peaceful home front but I think that any damage I may have done in past I am healing... One of the biggest things I know that my children respond to well -- is when I openly apologize .
