Hi ~ I know what you mean. I am familiar with that kind of resentment because my "ex" used to get me SO mad ~ and frequently too! I didn't want to go to bed either cause if I did, I'd probably slit his throat! LOL Gosh, he could make me mad, and some of the things he said were really mean and hurtful.

Then I heard something that made sense: "Resentment is the poison I take to kill you." Isn't that the truth?? Here we are, madder than heck at someone who doesn't even KNOW it! We're carrying around this horrible resentment against this person who is SOUND ASLEEP - and doesn't know we're resenting the daylights out of him ~ so all we're doing is hurting US. We aren't hurting them at all. If they could at LEAST know that we're stewing over this, it would be one thing, but they don't have a clue! So here we are making ourselves sicker and sicker over this, while they're getting much needed sleep that WE should be getting. How do you like that!!

When I heard that, I could have screamed, I was so flabbergasted. Here I was doing all that resenting for so long and all I had done was hurt myself. I'd never even considered that before. How dumb could I be?? Obviously pretty dumb cause I'm not the only person who's done this ~ Millions of people do it every day. LOL

Now I try not to let anyone live in my head rent free anymore. If they're gonna stay up there they've gotta pay.

God bless and please take care of yourself. Hugs, Lee
