Forgiveness and guilt ... yikes, those are big issues for women. I don't think I even know of a woman, (especially other moms), who doesn't deal with guilt on a daily basis. It must be just part of our makeup.
I personally have the hardest time with forgiveness. I find it easy to forgive others, except when it comes to those people who are the closest to me. I've spent my entire adult life not being able to forgive my dad for being a failure as a parent. For me, having children and then not being there as a parent is unforgivable.
Not to go too far on a tangent, but I recently had a conversation with a friend and she mentioned that the only thing that she wouldn't be able to forgive her husband for would be if he committed murder. That was the only thing she would consider as unforgivable. What is something you wouldn't be able to forgive someone for?
