Although it has been many years since my divorce, I still experience emotional triggers. I have the blessing of raising my teenage daughter full time. I’ve experience shortness of temper at times when there should be no reason. Through my meditation and journaling I find these moments have nothing to do with my daughter, and actually have to do with past resentments with my ex-wife.
As my daughter grows, she displays some similar qualities as her mother. In order to guide her from a centered place, I need to forgive my ex so I can see my daughter clearly and not react to her as if she were her mother. I frequently use Jane Hart’s Seven Steps for Successful Life Transitions. My experience has shown me that forgiveness is often a process. I continue to use the Seven Steps as I uncover deeper issues that weren’t in my awareness.
