Not ready to forgive yet. Is forgivness possible?
Anyway I'm really happy for you that you're where you're at with your healing. You don't get there without a lot of hard work. It's nice to see such a positive outcome with therapy. Gives me hope that I will eventually get there if I can get the nerve to break down this wall I've built around myself in therapy for fear that I might get hurt, to open up more and ask for what I need. Thanks for your inspiring post.
Be well and take care,

Is forgiveness possible? Yes, but I find I have to forgive over and over again. It comes in bits and pieces and has to be renewed from time to time. But it is very freeing to forgive.
I have worked hard, but as all of you know, it's up and down and back and forth with me. The one constant has been the skills my t has been working on with me. They are always there; I just have to remember and be willing to use them. When I stray too far from them, I inevitably find myself in trouble. One of these days I'll learn. I hope. I hope.
