Some times the hardest thing in life is admitting when you're wrong. Everyone knows this but few people will ever admit their mistakes.
Me and Jess recently tried to resolve an issue with a family member which has been overshadowing is for a number of years now. We listened to them, admitted our wrongdoings (or the parts we felt we had done wrong) and asked for the same in return.
What it feels like we got though was a half-assed excuse making session which was 99% blaming us and 1% avoiding everything we said.
Now apprehensive to say the least is how I approached this meeting, I have even thanked them for meeting with us and trying to solve this (for the children's sake, i know full well that any adults bridges are well and truly burnt) but nothing. Feels like just another jokes on us.
Memorable things of hurt though include point blank admitting they would never have attended or wedding last year had they been invited and deciding that certain issues are best pushed aside when the shoe is on the other foot.
I'll let people use imagination and fill in the backs I'm not interested in digging everything up, but if you ever read this just remember there are four fantastic children living with me and Jess that never put a foot wrong.
That is all.
