Friends???

I have been thinking a lot about friends over the past few days... after having had a significant series of misunderstandings with a significant friend...

 When this happens... is it possible to negotiate through to a place of mutual trust again?
 When this happens... is apology enough, especially when the mistakes on my side were unintentioned and unknown?
 When this happens... how do I process the hurt and sense of betrayal... how do I move to a place of forgiveness?

 I need my friends... do I need them too much?  Is this part of my mental illness?  Is knowing how to respect others' boundaries something we learn through social conditioning?  Or is it something that we struggle with through errors and corrections for a considerable time?  Until we die?

 I don't know how to begin to mend this friendship that has been wounded and I'm not even sure that my friend wants to...

 I am very sad about that...... and my heart hurts... and my mind has been racing about how I could have done things differently.. which I know isn't helpful in the long run.

 I remember, when I was in Madagascar... and had made yet another cultural mistake...  the words came to mind that 'the blood of Jesus covers a multitude of sins...'  I had a picture of putting my mistakes with Jesus, and trusting that those I had offended or hurt, would forgive and forget....  Guess I could do that now...
