Disagreements and arguments between family members are inevitable. Disagreements and arguments between family members who work together are “more so.” Standard protocol for resolution is an apology. Sometimes it’s an expression of regret for having had the argument; sometimes it’s an admission of guilt. But that’s not where an apology needs to end. There’s one more step. An apology is also a request for forgiveness, an appeal to know the other party will be able to “let go and move on.” So next time you have an argument and an apology ensues, think about adding that one last step. Acknowledge that you can let go of the matter and move on.
