So, it's important to forgive. But what do you do about the anger?? What if someone has hurt you so that it has had an impact on the rest of your life?

It is so hard. I am trying to put things in a different perspective . I have grieved. I have spoken to other people. I still see , not always so successfully, the need for me to still make good decisions. Decisions that are meant to take good care of myself. Eat properly and dress well and make sure I have some outside time and creative distractions. There are still a lot of moments left in life to climb up and try to make life better.

Princess hasn't any answers to offer other than her own experience in simply coping with it. It remains important to acknowledge the anger; not dismiss it or try to make it go away. While at one and the same time practicing the not-nursing/feeding the anger. Make sense? It does not come readily or easily to me or anyone else whom I know. ( Princess does not personally know MotherTheresa, so I cannot speak for all persons. ) And it takes constant practice. For me, I do not believe that the anger will ever simply go away nor can I determine it to do so. My very Mother taught me this on her deathbed.

You can and will survive this, roseblossom. We know that for you even when you cannot know it for yourself. That's faith.

My best to you.
