I have to admit, I am guilty of a lot of bad apologies. I’ve done the “everything” apology to partners when I’ve felt completely overwhelmed by shame and guilt. And I’ve done the “no consequences” apology with my daughter when I’ve apologized for things she is unhappy about that I’m not genuinely sorry for. This has given me a lot to think about, so thank you.
Hi Jude. We are all guilty of bad apologies. But once we learn different, we can be different. And yes, sometimes it’s overwhelming and easier to blanket it into “everything”- but once we know how hurtful that is to others, (even unknowingly) we can do better. Thank you for your vulnerability.
