“It’s a tough thing to do. Forgiving myself was the hardest thing. It required me to be accountable. Accepting my part in the abuse (from my marriage). He did what he did. It wasn’t my fault he did it, but it was my fault I stayed so long. It’s not really a fault thing, that sounds harsh, but I could have made different decisions. It is what it is. It took me awhile to realize I needed to forgive myself.” Denise opens the episode talking about her divorce. Jenna talks about her expectations of other people. “I recognize that’s my boundary. If you’re going to constantly disappoint me. I forgive you. I release you. But I don’t want this in my life.” The girls discuss building up scenarios in your mind. “Write down the facts. Give me examples,” Jenna says. “You will find out you’ve created a bunch of crap in your mind.” Denise talks about a relationship where it was like trying to squish a square peg into a round hole. Lots of unapologetic conversation about boundaries, relationships, and the journey to a more peaceful life.
