Loved the share, Lyne. Thanks.

You're wanting recovery Lyne and that is the kind of member I hang out with. "I got out my tool belt and started working on myself". That is the reminder for me. One of the tools for me is forgiveness. Forgiveness and resentments cannot exist at the same time in the same place and I do not like feeling resentments any longer and at all.

Mahalo for this post and I hope you got past it fast. ((((hugs)))) smile

I have been there. Anger was eating me up. I know what you mean. But this too shall pass. Keep working.

Thank you for sharing, Lyne. I understand completely. If it were not for my HP and my Al-Anon tool-box, anger would have completely consumed me. Hang in there. Life does get better when you are in recovery.

It works if you work it. Keep coming back. smile

I can't even imagine who I would be without my al anon tool belt. Certainly not who I am now. Keeping wearing that belt!!!!!

I can relate, sometimes it slips out and I get a glimpse of hiw I was and could be without alanon. Todays reading in c2c was talking about this. When looking back at memories look for the good ones, the bad ones only rile up negative feelings so whats the point.x

I invite you to forgive him. For you, not him.

Believe me I have plenty I could be angry about to this day. But I have a serenity about it all. Its not my job to react to his boloney now or in the past.

I can tell you that bitterness is what killed my Mother. She never got over being mad at my Daddy. i honestly believe that is what made her develop breast cancer.

Wish I had known what I do now so I could have helped her.

Its not bad to be angry yet get over it quickly. I remember a goat on Sesame street saying,"It's not baaaaaaaaad to be mad."

I was actually like OH ok....

My life is pretty serene becuz i seem to respond to stuff that makes others mad with curiosity, interest. Also with love I think ok what the most loving way to handle this?

I don't keep poisonous people around me ever, and do not respond to boloney.

Hoping you can do more to make you happy. hugs,
