I can agree he may not be the same person. I know I am not the smae as I was at 16. I do not forgive him, even after all this time. This man knew my history. He knew how hard my life had been with losing my dad and my mother losing custody. He knew everything I had been through and still showed no restrain. That isn't a person who DESERVES forgiveness or any place in my life.

I harbor no ill towards him. I rarely think about him and his awful comment. But when I do, I still cannot wrap my mind around it. I am about the ager he was then, and I would never ever talk to a child in that way.
