Just do not get married in the 1st place unless you known this person for a long time like 10-15 years! Most marriages, the two known each other for 18 months!😮

❤To work on your problems, try offering the person whom you resent one-on-one prayer. It will opportune you to use and express the better part of yourself with them and see the other as also human with depth and dynamism. Pray for those who spitefully use you. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath. A kind word turns away much wrath. Prayer helps me see that I am better than angry resentful wrath and I can run away from it in joyful freedom. It's such a relief to have this in my spiritual tool box. If you resent God for turning you in a direction that you don't want to go, you will have resentment problems with EVERYONE in that direction. Ask God to change your heart and mind to the same direction He selected for you and not just your body.❤

It’s as if we the injured continue to injure ourselves by ruminating on the hurtful actions/words. What we focus on grows. We can heal from it and move on. Nobody hates a tornado. But, we aren’t cozying up to them or living in their paths, either. When I get filled with resentment or revenge, I remember that I don’t have to hurt the person back. But, I also don’t have to help them or save them.

How can you forgive some behaviour of someone who hurt you that does not feel sorry about it does not understand the impact on your life and you can’t understand how they could do that because you would never do that to someone? There just certain things I can never see as forgivable. I can only work on forgiving myself not them about something I don’t endorse and believe in as acceptable

Everything seems more fun without them. 3. You dont miss them when they leave. You are happy you get some time without them. And annoyed if they call.

My mother never let me express feelings of anger towards her and now I’m carrying around this heavy, poisoned, contemptuous heart. And everyone blames me and thinks she’s a saint. But she was allowed to be as mad at me as she wanted to be when I was a child and no one protected me or stood up for me when she hit me and screamed in my face and spoke curses upon my future. Everyone says I need to forgive her if I am a Christian and I think I have because I am no longer asking God to take vengeance on her, but instead to bless her. But I feel very threatened at the prospect of reconciling and honestly I don’t want to. Im afraid it would open up all my vulnerability and anger and hate all over again. I haven’t talked to her in 20 years.
@DrMarkBaker
@DrMarkBaker Ай бұрын
Thank you for your honesty. There are a number of people who struggle with their parents just like you. Just because you have forgiven her doesn’t mean you should be reconciled to her. There are some people who are just not good for us. If you fear opening up to her will result in more abuse, then the loving thing might be just to stay away. you will have to make that judgment call. just make sure that you release yourself from resentment, in this way forgiveness is for you not her. resentment is like drinking poison, expecting someone else to die.

He just said it’s okay to feel angry. The feeling of anger is not the problem; it’s what you do with the anger that could become problematic. If those people continue to anger you, either they are continually doing something they shouldn’t be (or lack of doing something) or you have an anger problem that needs addressed.

Great video but don’t stop there! What is the problem and how do we rid ourselves of it? I realize resentment is a red flag and an opportunity to heal, but I need to pinpoint it, so I can work on it. My resentment might stem from the fact that I’m slowly burning out as a caregiver. Am I not taking enough breaks? Am I resenting my husband who can probably do some things himself? Am I realizing I’m codependent and freaking out about bringing stuck in this relationship? Am I resenting my father who also required caregiving when I was 11? Do I feel demeaned because I’m deprived of doing the things I’d like? What?

What do you do when the people you have tried to forgive are dead (parents) because you learned how they hurt you by not being supportive to my goals & being kept on the edge of the family. Support was not given because you were the nice, good girl & you are ignored because you are the easiest child in the family. Now what do I do with that. A brother was worshiped by the Mom. The dad was jealouse of the son & faulted him. One sister was totally dysfunctional & starting drinking at 14 & would run away & come back. I was ignored because I was straight & narrow. Went to school got good grade, went to their church the longest of all the kids. Yet I was not liked. They may have mouthed I love you once or twice but it felt they did not LIKE you. And the father discouraged life goals I wanted to accomplish. And it seemed that after high school grad & I was attending & graduated from a local community college, my Dad wanted me out. We lived in an expensive area of the State. I could not afford even a dumb to live in & had no money to buy a car until in my second year of college. What do I forgive. That they did nothing to protect me from a student who tried to sexually assault me. My mother did not believe it & she told me NOT to tell my Dad. Two weeks after my assault, the dudes father was arrested for incest with his daughter. Then my Mom said maybe I did not make up the story. I was never a liar & why my Mom decided with all my tears & trauma to not go to the school to explain what had happened to me nor the police. My mother died that day. I never saw her as a caring, good person after she deserted me. I have no idea why I could not tell my father?? What do I do with that?????

Your situation is very difficult, so there is no easy answer to your question. You have suffered unfairly, and it was not your fault that you were mistreated in these ways. I would encourage you to keep talking about it (in therapy if you haven't) so you can find freedom from the resentment that often comes with this type of abuse. You have suffered enough.

I will also say that a lot of my anger went away when I developed more humility, solved my childhood trauma and why certain things trigger my anger so easily and that theres better ways of coping with Jerks that you inevitably come across. Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle helped a lot. It takes humility, developing true self worth dropping the ego and surrender to God's will. Its takes both the man and woman working to be that way, otherwise a breakup is inevitable.
