Scenario 2

SCENARIO 2 w/ Daniel L.

The situation: You told a family member something real. It came back to you from three different people. They apologized — and meant it. So you forgave, and told them the next thing too. Same result. Third time now, and you believe they're sorry. That's what makes it hard.

Pick one:

A. Forgive them and tell them the next thing too.

B. Forgive them, and stop telling them things. Forgiveness is not access.

C. Step back from the relationship.

Talk about it:

1. Which one is forgiveness? Can more than one be?

2. Where have you been treating forgiving somebody and trusting them again like one decision?
