I just wanted someone's opinion on apologizing to someone after 17 years. When I was young and stupid I broke someone's heart and have always felt bad. We were best friends. I have been thinking about this person a lot lately. They moved on to get married and have a family, so that is great. I recently sent a letter saying how sorry I am for being so terrible and asked for forgiveness. I did not give my number or put a return address on the envelope becuase I did not want anyone to think I was wanting a reunion or anything. I just really wanted to apologize and maybe get some sort of closure. Do you think there is a statute of limitations on saying I'm sorry and asking for forgiveness?

My apologies for my typos! UGH!

You're right. I should have IMO. My apologies. I have
a very hard time with alcoholism being looked on as a disease. A lot of that, I'm sure, comes from having lived in the midst of it for years, knowing what my husband was doing to himself and to his family. The saddest part of it all was that he knew what he was doing to us, too. He had many, many chances to give it up and chose not to until he almost killed himself drinking. That's why I get bent out of shape about the whole subject of disease versus not disease.
OMG - My apologies. I am sorry....I do have you confused....
I am so so sorry. I DO need to be more careful with my posts. I thought you were the one saying that the children should not be reuinited with their family. I guess I was just stunned that someone thought that way and all I could think of was what if the shoe was on the other foot. How would they like if their child was grabbed up from them without solid evidence and not be told why. From now on I will be more careful and make sure I don't post anything to the wrong person. Again I am sorry. I am not a religous person and I have been judged too many times by my "religious" family members (some of who believe the Harry Potter books be burned). I love the Harry Potter movies too and it takes me away from reality for a short time. Again - I am truly sorry. I
You are right! I did miss that part! My apologies!
Thank you for pointing that out to me.
Sorry, didn't realize she used that name. My apologies.

apologies heal all involved --
acknowledged or not.
I am inspired.
My apologies. I never meant to insinuate that love was missing
from their marriage. From what the OP has said, they have a very loving relationship and I am truly happy for her. I guess I just don't understand why he won't share how much education he has with her. She obviously loves him for who he is and not for how educated he may or may not be.
