It can be unbelievably hard to forgive your ex-wife, but it can be done.  One Play of the Day subscriber writes, “I forgave her but it took me a whole year and I had to forgive her in small sums over the 12 months.  I paid those sums whenever I spoke to her, and kept myself from rehashing the past.  I paid them whenever I saw her with another man and refused self-pity and rehearsal inside for what she’d done to me.  I paid them whenever I praised her to others, when I really wanted to slice away her reputation.  Those were the payments – but she never knew about them.  However, I never knew her payments, but I know she made them.  I can tell.”

Bitterness always eats its possessor.  So resolve to make small payments of mercy.  You and your children will be better for it.
