I did something last year that I had never done before: I asked what I could do to mend the relationship. I’d heard about the concept of making amends for a long time, but I had never done it. I had apologized, but that isn’t the same as making amends. What I did instead was to try to figure out what I had done that I wasn’t proud of and stop doing it. I thought I was making amends that way. And sometimes that’s all you can do.
