Goodness - you are a victim, not a perpetrator - and need healing just as much as the next guy. That much is clear to me.

I can relate to this continuous apology - my mantra which my kids hated was "I'm such a wicked mother" and I just hated myself. That was non-productive. What you say is so true, Karen - it's hardest to forgive ourselves, we sure don't need others pointing the fingers at exmembers when we're already trying to get over a huge guilt complex built up by berg and his cronies for years and years.
