Is there someone in your life that for some reason there was a falling out and you two no longer speak? Would you or have you made amends? Would you like to?
Just had this discussion with a friend whose son has not spoken to her for years, I suggested she send a letter. She said she has and he will not reply.

It really just depends upon the situation for me. Some people are nutty, and it is best to not reconnect with them and save yourself a lot of grief.
If it is a relationship that can benefit from it, and stay repaired, then I am 100% for that. What a beautiful thing/ healer!
I wish I could make amends with my ex-best friend, but he's now engaged and has moved on, and the situation still hurts me. It's best I stay away for good.
I wish I could make amends with my brother. He's the black sheep of the family and thinks everyone hates him. Sadly, he would never accept even an email from me. He thinks we contact him out of pity, yet gets mad when we DON'T contact him, saying we have cut him out of our lives. It's a lose-lose.
Besides those two people, I have very good relationships with others. I never take sides, therefore, have no enemies. I can get along with anyone.
I was best friends with a girl for five years, our sons were born around the same time, we both had daughters around the same age, we had the same likes and dislikes, both went through a divorce around the same time, we were best friends as good as any could be then, she slept with my boyfriend and that was it. I never spoke to her again and never plan on it. (there was more involved, lies, deception, etc) so it wasn't me rushing to drastic decisons but she just turned out to be a horrible person. So, I cast her aside.

The thing about amends is, you do it to get current for yourself so you can move on. How the person reacts or responds to your amends is a whole separate matter. True amends do not rely on getting a certain response from the other person. They may slam the door in your face, they may call you a piece of crap, they may never speak to you again. It doesn't matter.
You do amends for yourself, not to "get something" from the other person.
