twolightsabovethesea: purpleshehulk: prussianinamerica: I had a teacher who refused to let any of us say “its okay” because of this exact reason. It has taken me years to learn that it’s also okay to say “Thank you.” when someone apologizes.It is perfectly acceptable to acknowledge that someone has apologized, and still refuse to accept their apology. There are things in this world that cannot be apologized for. When my son apologizes for something I reply with things like “I understand that you did not mean that to be hurtful/harmful and you won’t do it again” rather than “it is okay” for this very reason. -- source link
