Have you ever fought hard with a person close to you, and then experienced ronconciliation? What process did you go through?

“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other.  “Come now, let’s kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we’ll see what comes of his dreams.”
~Genesis 37:19-20

Yes I have gone through something like this, and I'm sure we all have in our lives.  It happened a few years ago after my now ex-boyfriend broke up with me the last time after having cheated on me.  I had become so angry and bitter towards him for the sinful things he had committed towards me that I would just publicly humiliate him in my blind rage. Needles to say, he would do the same thing back to me.  So, in result, there was a period of time that we were more or less enemies of each other.  Then, maybe a week or two later, I was suprised to have recieved a message from him apologizing to me how he treated me after our relationship ended.  I definitely thought it was nce of him to have sent this message of apology, but of course I was still hurting and still needed some time to sort things out in order to fully forgive him, and maybe make my own apologies.  When I was ready, I was comfortable enough to embrace him as a friend.
