hey all, called my sponser this am and she said that she could see the hate/anger too, but THIS time i was in control of it...(read my post about my attacking brother).
i thought about that and i realized... ....after ALL i went through, i may *never* completely get rid of the hate/anger for some people in that family.....but i learned THIS as well!!! i can manage it!! i can *control* it....it does NOT control me!!!!
when i pray to my HP, i realize that not ALL my shortcommings/ or character undesireables are "magically" going to go away, but i can manage them!!! least case scenario i can *manage* them....like i know now that *progress* is a very very important word and it removes the thought that i have to *get it all right* otherwise the sky is falling in on me
my sponser asked me "how do you feel now that you wrote the letter?" and i said "great!!! i had some crap i had to get off my chest....i said it....*now* i can turn over to my hp...and its done" but thinking about that, i realize that i *did* have something stuff to say to this man whom, yes, i confess, i *loathe*......
i want to thank those of you who responsed to my post.....and also tell you all that i learned something in this..... and its sobering....i may never ever get rid of *all* the hate/anger, but i am *grateful* than i can *now* manage it!!!! my lesson learned??? management may be the best i can expect with some issues.....i went through so much, suffered more indignity/ humiliation/abuse than any human being should....i am *grateful* i am comming out of it as good as i am.....
