Oh and I do feel sorry for her as well. She has to be living a tortured life because of all the hatred she has allowed into her life instead of facing reality.

If you choose to never accept my attempts to make things right
I will take responsibility for my actions and live buy them (and learn any lesson that I should)
I may even go through a grieving process for what I lost, but again there will be a limit

Has to be that way. We can't (in my opinion) go through life always being sorry for everything.

But you did right
When my one brother was suicidal, I was the one that got him to the hospital
And the one that basically forced him to sign himself in for observation
And prevented my mom from making deals with him
I told him at the time I would rather you be alive and hate me, than dead

We are all human and we will make mistakes
We can only fix what we can and move on

Sometimes it seems funny how some people mistake easy going for doormat

Yeah. Sometimes though the mistakes really hurt.

Other times we are hurt because we do care. That is what seems to me to be unreasonable.

Oh Yeah, that is why Patty gets hurt so easily, she DOES care.

Oh yeah.

That they do
I also believe that (at least for me) that the better that I strive to be, the harder i am on myself when I fail

I do know that I place a higher standard of expectations on myself than I do on other people

I agree
