Just Ask Connie:Hurt By Family Member-Connie Podesta

And just to add on to what I just said, as a Christian I knw full well that the Word spks abt how to deal with conflict in order to be able to forgive and move on, & she pretty much paraphrased it. GO TO THE PERSON who hurt u &

respectfully let em knw where they were wrong, & if need be esp in a church, if they are adamant abt their position bring a mediator the 2nd time. If u dnt let them knw they'll never create the opportunity to resolve it! No wonder its been so hard not 2 begrudge of late!

I don't think she was "reading" her emotions or anything (no offence @jojoyear) at all. It was pretty easy to read between the lines and see why this woman was so hurt, but for me she definitely brought something home for me that I need to be grown up about, and it is this: to stop waiting around and holding grudges hoping that they will come up to you and say sorry. They may not even know exactly how you feel. For that, Connie, I am SOOO grateful!

It's really scary how easily you read her emotions/thoughts/whatev. I'm glad you use that skill to help people rather than just for your own good.
