JustUs,
I was in an abusive relationship for about a year before I was finally arrested last summer for domestic violence. Since then I have enrolled in anger management class and have seen a psychologist. I have learned a lot since then and feel overwhelming remorse for what I have done and put my ex through. I want to apologize to her, but there is a restraining order in effect. I feel so guilty. Any suggestions?

Hello NewMan,
Time heals all! Give it some time. Restraining orders have time frames for a reason, it's call the cooling period. You are obviously an emotional person who use to let your emotions get the best of you. Give the emotions on both sides time to settle. All folks will remember you for is your aggression right now but hopefully through your new ways and actions you are preparing to show everyone a new man. Love will never stop existing. Pray to God repenting for the harm you caused to others then sit back and watch the healing began.

So JustUs are you saying to leave her alone completely and there's no chance of ever winning her trust & love back? You said love will never stop existing but will the love she had for me stop? I don't think I'll ever stop loving her. She was really good to me and I did let my emotions and temper get the best of me. I took advantage of the only woman that loved me for me as me and I just gotta win her back.

No, what was suggested is that you give it time. Time has known to have been a major contributor in the healing process. You most give God time to work. If not part of restraining order, send some apologizing literature through postal service expressing your need for God's healing, will be a step towards letting her know you serious about a change.
