QOTD Wednesday 9.26.12

Are you generally able to "forgive and forget" or do you hold a
grudge?

and what brings this up is actually this --
My mom is one of five girls. They have the most amazing way of
talking to each other, yet holding on to grudges from teenage
years (or even longer in some cases). So it has made me wonder
if it's a hereditary condition?? (haha)
My sister and I are the only 2 kids my Mom had, so there's not
the chance of 3others to toss in the mix -- maybe that has made
a difference?

I can forgive and forget unless it's something really terrible
then yes, I can hold a grudge.

I like to think I'm a forgive and forget person, but one thing
really sticks in my craw. When my husband passed away, there
were over 180 people at his funeral and I received so many cards
and donations to my church from friends/my family. That's a
testament to how many people loved/respected him. He has four
siblings, still living, in Canada. Granted, I realize they
could not come to the funeral, it's too far, but geez, they
could have sent me a card. NOTHING..... For all the times that
we sent flowers/went to funerals for his family in Canada you'd
think they would of at least got together and sent flowers......
I think this came up because today is Burt's birthday and also
his younger sister's, and I can't bring myself to call and wish
her a happy birthday when they didn't think of me and my
children when he died.
Okay, rant over. Life just sucks sometimes.

I can forgive and forget and yup, can hold a grudge too. I try
not to as it messes with my zen-like countenance.

It completely depends on the situation and the severity of the
action, but I can do both.

It totally depends on the situation, I tend to hold on to things
for awhile, though I try not to let them get in the way of my
everyday life.

I am generally the forgiving type but sometime the forget comes
later after I have processed what has happened. I don't like to
hold grudges because I think holding on to stuff makes me a
grumpy. I guess I am kind of like Lynn in that respect...I don't
like to hold on to stuff that happened in the past ya know it
just drags me down, man!

I think I am the forgiving kind...
but I have had a problem with my oldest brother since our
parents died (I call him Mr *Hole) Sad as he caused it himself
and I am not the only sibling to feel that way (I am the middle
of 5 - 21 years from top to bottom)
and I must say I have had a really hard time with a scrappy
friend - long distance - that I really thought was my friend,
and when she treated me that way, I have had a hard time getting
over it. I finally did a LO and used F R A U D as the title,
and I think I was finally able to let it go and move on. At
least I don't lay awake at night thinking of an email or a FB
post to send her. Its her loss. I spent over 2 years listening
to her B***, cry, etc over her problems and things, and not
quite sure why she turned on me..... And it has made me very
skeptical to open up again.... And THAT makes me mad......
