The very first time I disappointed my Daddy I was inconsolable...tears, wanting to hide, worrying over not only the situation but what he would do, I blew it all out of proportion in my head and was thinking that this was 'it', I would not be good enough for him, better to just pack my bags ready for the door. How silly I was! I also knew he was a better man than that so how could I think he would send me packing over it, it was just panic. I really don't forgive myself very easliy when i get it wrong, but he deals with it very well (for US). He tells me exactly how I disappointed him, what it made him feel and how he expects things to go forward. He also gets to the bottom of what was going on in my head when I did what I did, so I guess he gets a better understanding of me at the same time. He knows I will punish myself far harder than he ever could, so he let me do just that for a very short time. He then tells me 'enough', it is over and done with and time to move on. That first time, I just couldn't and he asked me how him telling me to move past it and forgive myself was any different to be told to go strip, dress up, or do 'whatever'? Do I not obey him in all these things and more? A simple question but it did finally dawn on me that yes I do obey him, I belong to him and if he says enough is enough, well that really is the end of it. It still takes me a little bit to get back to my usual self, but it does come. I have only disappointed him on this level a couple of times luckily, but it was a good lesson for me. Punishment for me is all in the mind, he could flog me all day and it wouldn't be enough. Seeing in his eyes that he genuinely forgives me and loves me, knowing he lets me reach out to him, touching his cheek and whispering how I really am sorry, that is the forgiveness for me and my cue to move on. Doing a little something fun together after helps too I find.
