ShootingStar - I know what you mean about mothers. I have many issues with my mother and I give her chance after chance after chance! I know I should be able to trust my mother and I think thats why I keep giving her chances, but by the same token I find myself becoming harder and harder on her because she is yet to show me that she deserves those chances - and at her age she should just plain know better. I think when its someone in your family that you have a grudge against it can be a deeper grudge because the hurt is probably deeper than it would have been if it was just someone you could cut loose - your family is your family and you're stuck with them as well as the constant reminder of how they hurt you if you catch my drift. Which is why you give them more chances than you would others because you have to live with them constantly being in your life. I think forgiveness comes a lot easier when its family but if there is a grudge or resentment for whatever reason, its often much more severe.
PS - congrats on your new little bundle!
