No one can recover if they won’t admit the wrongdoings. i won’t recover if i pretend it was all sunshine. i have to remember his vindictive temper and realize that sheltering the house from the storm wasn’t actually going to make a difference if i still got damaged in the process. because then it’s just another broken house with no one to tell its story.

About This Quote

Admitting that you were wrong is the first step to recovery. It is not easy to admit that you made a mistake, but it is important. Sometimes it is easier to pretend that certain mistakes never happened. But, when you finally admit the wrongdoing, it shows true contrition and perhaps even hope for redemption. Admitting that you did something wrong can help you avoid repeating the mistake in the future.
