Re: "...sometimes it is harder for someone to forgive themselves than it is for other people to forgive them."
That's how it should be.

It bothers me to hear people say they don't hold themselves accountable for things they did 35 years ago (except in Angie's case and maybe mine due to our relative youth). That's not to say that everyone should be beating themselves up over the things they did so long ago. You have to let things go, after all, if you don't wnt to go bat$#!+ crazy, but wrong is wrong and we don't get off of Responsibility's hook just because some time passed. There are things *I* did, believe it or not, that bother me MORE now than they did then. One girl in 4th grade that virtually every boy in school was vicious to comes to mind. We sucked. If I found her today, I'd apologize even though I wasn't one of the major offenders.
