What Have You Done? Something You Must Do:
When you apologize to someone for mistreating them, abusing your power instead of sharing and exchanging power in your relationship with them, or bringing them emotional harm, you must change your offensive behavior immediately and never return to it. Never.
You must change. You must ask yourself where it is that you learned that the behavior was okay. Evaluate how much of that experience of learning is a part of your past and present day.
You must evaluate yourself with love and dedication to changing your beliefs, your way of living and loving and your way of being for the better. Some offenses are irreparable, but when you get the chance to make something right you must.
Ask for forgiveness and understand that you may not deserve it but by asking for it you give the other person the opportunity to regain some power lost by their association with you.
It serves as part of the apology too. Yes apologies are twofold. Admitting to your offenses demonstrates real care, respect and compassion.
This is the only way to authenticate an apology. What you do speaks loudly. What you say is only heard. There is nothing but the ego that would allow you to not apologize. No mental illness, no addiction, no distance. Apologize!
People listen when you actually do something better. It is honorable. Honor is everything.
