Hi Junerain,
Thanks for replying.Forgiveness is such a difficult issue isn't it? Right now,there's been no contact between us for months (except the birthday card which she sent-Lord knows why after the way she behaved!). I think you are right about time,although in my case I'm not sure how much further on I am-maybe,as you say,I just need more time still.Do you find that with time your feelings of hurt and anger have lessened? How much does forgiveness depend on the other person being able to meet us half way? I guess,in it's purest sense,it doesn't depend on the other person at all and it's possible to forgive someone yet never speak to them again.............but in real life? It would be so much easier if there were some sign from the other person that they want this too-has that happened in your case?It hasn't in mine,sadly.

I do have an email address I could send to-I was referring more to a way of having a two way conversation which I'd prefer to do via instant messenger,to keep some distance and that's what my friend wasn't willing to do.(with me).
