Well that sure explains why you wanted to make amends. Considering what the group is, all the more reason for forgiveness. When mental health issues are involved, and the president has those same issues, it seems to me, that allowing for judgemental mistakes would be part of the business of being president. We are suppose to embrace each other, and for our mistakes too. My son is depressed and every so touchy, no matter what I say to him. I have to allow him this testyness, because I am accounting for his depression. The president of the group is to lead. Part of that is to lead by example, especially when the mental health of all are involved. If this falling out, would effect you so negatively, maybe there is another group or counceiling you could go to. I would not want to be around somebody, that after this kind of falling out, would judge me harshly in front of the group. It would make me very uncomfortable to be around the group. We all are so fragile at times, and I sure hope there can be a resolution where you don't feel so bad. You need to feel comfortable whereever you go for council, and to be accepted with your faults. He should be the first to forgive, because he is in the position of leadership. That has responsibility with it to others. Do you kinda know what I mean? I hope you know that I do care about what happens to you in this situation. I have been rejected by some in my own life and it can sure hurt. Be kind, even when it isn't always returned to you. ginnie
