Detective Mom - Afterthoughts
I had a daughter once who refused to apologize. Not for everything, mind you, but for a very specific category of offenses: accidents. If she stepped on your toe, scared you so that you dropped something, or bumped your arm while you were underlining something in your book (and turned your underline into an unsightly scribble on the page), you knew you could expect nothing from her.

I have been mentoring other moms in the homeschool community for over 25 years. It wasn't until about 12 years ago that the Lord led me to offer my mentoring services to the world at large. I was seeing that I could offer the encouragement and support to sweet mamas that I was interacting with online or that I met at speaking engagements.
