    If today was your last day on Earth, would you want to end it angry with someome?
    Trust me I KNOW there are somethings that people do to others that ARE unforgiveable & don't deserve your forgiveness but IMHO you need to forgive yourself for the anger & resentment. This person never needs to know you forgave them; YOU just need to know.
    Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.

    I can forgive something done once but my problem is people doing the same thing or worse over and over. Thats hard to forgive. Or if they say really cruel things about my husband.

    I can forgive a lot of things that happen to me, but not if someone says bad things about the people I'm close to. I have a real problem with someone attacking them. I don't think people who do that are worth being around. But, so much of that is happening these days.

    I think the biggest hint is understanding that forgiving takes a very long time! However, as long as your intent is to forgive someone, then you are on the right path. Jesus commanded us to forgive, so it isn't an option for Christians. But He understands that it is a difficult journey for us. Fortunately for us, we were forgiven in that instant that He took our sins on his shoulders...and died on the cross for us!
    Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to his level and he’ll win because of experience.

    The bad thing about this scenario is that you are allowing someone to do that to you over and over again. You have to start taking the blame in that kind of situation. If someone is saying cruel things about your husband, then they really could not care about either of you and should not be allowed in your life.

    I don't let them do it. It just happens every time I try to go back around again. Its good for a while then it starts all over again.

    You've been saying these same things about your family on here for a long time, gmyers. Why haven't you changed your situation? You are allowing it to happen over and over, according to your posts. It's really a shame.

    By going back around, you are allowing them to do it. If someone is continually doing something that hurts you or your loved ones feelings they simply don't care about you. When you go back around these people what you are saying is, it's alright for them to do that to you because you will keep coming around them anyways, so yes you are letting them do it.

    Because I get suckered in by one person in my family. She tells me she wants us to get closer then after I start beieving her she does the same thing again. Foolish me keeps believing her.

    Why are you so interested in me and my family? You've even started a post asking about us. I can't figure out why you are so interested.

    I've read your posts like everyone else here. You've been complaining about your family for years. Everyone has read it. Like so many here I can't understand why you don't put a stop to it instead of complaining about it a lot. Most people would not let this go as long as you have. It seems like you are doing this for attention since you refuse to take everyone's advice. But, it's your life, if that's the way you want to live it. Good luck to you. I hope it all works out for you.
