Yeah, I watched it. Could not resist. I wanted to hear it straight from the source..and I stand corrected. In what was approx 15 minutes of a statement, I really believed what he had to say. I thought he was contrite and sincere. He apologized. He acknowledged his shortcomings. He does sound a like guy who's been in therapy for the last 45 days.
He mentioned growing up as a buddhist..and how he strayed away from those beliefs. He made it clear that this was about his behavior, not passing blame on anyone else. One thing that stood out was he asked for people to believe in him, rather than forgive him. That tells me he does realize his role model status. He directed his need forgiveness to his family and close friends. Thats where it should be.
I do feel he accomplished something today..the start of the healing process. It was clear what his priorities are right now..family and not golf. Good for Tiger. Now for the real truth. Will his actions be as sincere and contrite as his words? Time will tell..
Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
I think time will tell just how authentic his apology and change of heart is. To forgive is one thing. To forget the betrayal is an entirely different matter. Like I said on your previous post, I hope he will come away from this life lesson a more loving and faithful husband and father. But, time will tell.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree--- time will tell. If he overcomes this, it will be his greatest victory of all...
