Title: Public Apology to Gemma D
Post by: Cindy on December 30, 2012, 11:58:33 PM
Last night I lost my temper.

I rarely do, and my temper is a curse I live with.

I insulted Gemma D in a mean spirited, harsh and unwarranted manner.

I know the power of words. I use them. I understand them.

I will not offer excuses or explanation, some people are aware and I will leave it at that.

No matter my own problems it is blatantly foul for me to lose my temper with someone having problems.

I apologise to Gemma D and the community here.

Cindy James

Had you said that to me for whatever reason, it would've eaten me up for weeks. If you know the power of words, then you should be careful what you say on here, there's no telling what someone's mental state is and how they will react to something like that.

I admire anyone who can stand tall and apologize publicly. I respect anyone who admits they are human and therefore not perfect. We do our best, that's all we can ever do.

We are family.  Right?

Cindy, mt dearest sister.  You said things that may have been need to be said, even if it was uncharacteristic of our Cindy.  But offering a public apology is more like our Cindy.

Good job, Hon.

Love you.

Personally I think this topic has been dealt with, and any further comment will not achieve anything.  All I will say is that Transition is such a major thing that it requires us to be ruthlessly honest with ourselves and anyone else affected. 

The original poster now needs to decide what action is neccessary in their own situation, and choose how to respond. End of story.
