(41,932 posts)39. You sound like a good man. Maybe you always were.
I dont know if you ever really did anyone harm but its clear you were seeking something meaningful in all kinds of places, and working with the raw material you had. Im glad you are finding meaning now that is more inclined toward being open toward and helping others. And I think youre hoping for some compassion toward people who, like you, hold some very hard to fathom attitudes when you havent walked in their shoes. I know. I have beaucoup relatives who have loved me and I loved them, and for good reason, and they have some points of view I cannot fathom.
I think you have, and have always had, quite a bit to be proud of, whether you knew it or not. I believe in forgiveness and new starts for trustworthy folks. Peace, Michael. ❤️
