God, how I hate being jaded.
But.... I can also see where she is coming from and I too would forgive. I have forgiven many many people for things that in their own way were just as bad.

I'm jaded right along with you because those are my thoughts also. Even after reading the rest of the posts and thinking about it overnight, I still don't think that I would have forgiven him. Maybe inside so that I wouldn't go crazy, but I would never show that I did. People, especially children, need to know that there is a consequence for every action. I'm not sure if the lesson was learned in this situation.
