How do we forgive ourselves for acting out of our wounded selves which hurt ourselves and others? Sometimes even years later the other person is still hurt. I can see in my family the terrible effects my behavior has had on them. My wounded self actions led to them now having false beliefs and fears that they wouldn’t otherwise have had. I have put lots of darkness into this world. What do I do with the sadness and remorse that I have over all this? Forgiving myself feels like it’s letting me off the hook too easily.
