[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 696762, member: 19951"] Darkwing, echoing what Albratross said. We all have done things, said things or had things done to us (out of our control )that cause us to feel "shame". For me, sister and I were molested by grand-father, who we trusted. Grandparents adopted us out of orphanage our parents placed us in after losing our two baby brothers. I dealt with my shame by forgiving grand-father for what he did- it set me free. YOU have to forgive yourself for anything you have done to others. YOU have made amends. YOU have made your aunt and uncle so proud and be proud of YOU for how far you have come. I treasure your wisdom and willingness to help so many here. YOU have a conscience and you have empathy for others. How tragic for both you and your sister and all you both went through. But, the fact is, you have recognized and struggled through the pain and came out on the other side- whereas your sister, is still struggling. YOU have come into your own-and are healing. I pray your sister finds "her own" and that she can heal from her past. The past is a stealer of joy and hope if we allow it to be and only by making amends and/or forgiving ourselves and others can we be released from it and move on with our lives. [/QUOTE]
