Golly, this must be "make Jo cry" day at Psych Central. This is the second post today to bring tears (good ones) to my eyes.
Angela, we are all just imperfect humans in this life...so you are not an "arse" or any other name. You showed a lot of character in facing these issues, and even more in opening yourself up and publicly apologizing. For what it's worth, I think the issue of being able to see the value in someone as a person even when you are on opposite sides on something is very difficult, and I would imagine almost all of us have been guilty of the things you mention at one time or another in our lives. I know I have been.
Thank you for your apology, and I am sorry for anything I may have done to hurt you. You have taken a big step towards healing today, and for that you deserve a lot of credit.
