Advice from Amy Dickinson.
My husband and I have been married for 14 years . We are very happy.His 42-year-old son, “Tony,” recently divorced with a preschooler, has always had issues.Tony, who has a drinking problem, started drinking beer early.
My husband walked into our bedroom and Tony followed. Then suddenly, he punched his father with a closed fist, knocking him over! Although there has always been tension between the two, his father is making noises about forgiveness. He might also be trying to continue to parent his son, by extending his forgiveness as a positive example.But forgiveness is both an action and an art. You can determine for yourself whether to attempt the action, but the art of forgiveness requires compassion, sincerity, and a genuine release of anger. Deep and sincere forgiveness is a liberating experience.A friend recently passed along some extremely negative comments about me that had been uttered by another friend.
