Thank you for your candid experience.. as you can read in all of the comments above, we find ourselves in the same boat… One thing that has helped me learn to forgive an injurious trauma 21 years ago from a domestic violence was this… the person who did this to me is a beloved child of our Heavenly Father – a broken soul with so many unprocessed hurts and something in me tripped on that hurt.. then emotions collide… now at 74 years of age, the dust of resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness are all cleanly wiped away with graces… One becomes a wounded healer… Through constant petition inviting the Lord and His Mother Mary, to my house of pain… The little child of me can now smile and say the broken pieces were restored by the Master Planner… He alone has kept the original diagram to make it new.

Sandi,
Maybe God was present in the nemesis at your previous job, giving you the opportunity to find something more pleasing. Just a thought.

Thank you for your honesty! I can so relate and go from resentment to cherishing a sibling(s) after examination of conscience and confession and then suddenly it all starts again and I have to work on compassion, love and prayer to get rid of the ugly resentment!! I am so free when I cherish my sibling, but I need God’s grace!

I agree with Brian above,that loving your neighbour is the hardest commandment of all.
Keep praying and working on your relationship with your brother Analise. Hopefully you will feel and see the fruits of your efforts.God Bless you.

Dr. Annalise, it is so true that the people we hold anger against go about their lives with no awareness of the pain we hold in our hearts over whatever words or actions caused us to be upset. I also know that just knowing this doesn’t always help us to release the feelings we hold. I recently changed jobs after 18 years. I couldn’t get past an injustice done to me no matter how hard I tried. It was making me into a bitter, negative person. Now I’m happy and can forgive the person since I don’t have a constant reminder of what was done. I pray for those that don’t have the option to get away from whoever caused them pain. That they may find a way to forgive with the grace from God.

Thank you Analise. It is true we all fall into this trap along the way. I am one of them. I realize it is one way Jesus wants me to grow and to pray for the other person. A hard task! Thank you for your prayer at the end as it helped me to pray this as well. God bless.

You just modeled us in so many ways. Let love and light shine on us and others… and also to our brothers…this is the will of God. Thank you Analise.

As always Dr. Analise: so honest, direct, and so very relatable to human condition. Bless you
