Dear Amy: I graduated from college 45 years ago. I belonged to a sorority.
Frankly, I’m just not interested in doing this. My philosophy is to either forgive and let go, or, if you cannot, then confront and try to work it out.Am I being petty?Your two closer friends are not attending, and so the only reason I could imagine you wanting to go — and it’s a strong one — is curiosity.
Understand that there is a likelihood that they would brush off your query by claiming not to remember this episode; there is also the possibility that they would, as a group, find a way to blame you for it. I applaud your willingness to forgive these three, and your story illustrates perfectly the truism that forgiveness is a liberating virtue.I’m going through a bit of a crisis. You see, shortly before my mother died of cancer last year, she kept a diary detailing in graphic detail about how awful I was and how hard it was dealing with my outbursts .I have autism and while my own outbursts were definitely a factor, my mother dealt out her own verbal outbursts.
Not only do I feel uncomfortable with him doing this, but a future employer could be taking a look at this.
