If you could have someone apologise sincerely to you, who would it be?

For me, my dad for being uninvolved

My first boyfriend for being abusive

I think those apologies - and total cognoscente for the reasons why - would actually mean something to me.

You?

Ps. I'm reflective. It's nearly the end of 2020 shit storm after all!

So many but I don't think I'd believe any of them. If the apology was followed by a change in behaviour then maybe but you know what they say about leopards and spots. I've just learnt to let people go. Sadly, abusive people don't reflect or change or even recognise their behaviour as abusive.

Maybe god for not making me taller Grin

My ex husband. Hopefully he would be close enough for me to kick him in the balls.

I'm owed a few apologies but, like a previous poster, I don't think I'd accept any of them - no matter how well they grovelled.
I've moved on, at great personal and emotional cost. They can stick it 🖕🏼

Apologies are not that satisfying. It's more important how you move forwards. Having said that I get annoyed as I am always first to say sorry and admit mistake and have noticed how some people have the ability to bypass this process.

I’m owed a couple but none that I want.

Someone who assaulted me. I don't want the apology though. I'd rather he never did it again to anyone else. I'd interpret his apology (if heartfelt) as an indicator of maturity, guilt and kindness. I'd hate to associate those qualities with someone as nasty as he was
