Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 I'm holding such anger and resentment toward my sister-in-law right now. It's toxic, and it's eating me up alive. I envy your healthy attitude. How do you let go of the GRRRRR!!! feeling? Besides shoving food in my face, that is? Any suggestions? : Took me many years to get over the hurt and anger caused by my in-laws. Finally realized that while I'm being so angry and hurt, they're going on with their lives and I'm sitting here seething. What's wrong with this picture? To this day my sister in-law and I can be in the same room and my mother in-law will introduce the two of us like this, " This is my daughter in-law Cecelia " and then she introduces me " This is Tim's wife Regina " . Happens every time. Whether its conscious or unconscious, used to hurt very badly. Now my husband and I place bets on silly things like this. We get x-mas cards that say " To Son and his Wife " , his brother gets cards that say " To Our Wonderful Son and Daughter In-law " . Once we started to see the humor in it, I just let it go. I may have been fat, but I was able to lose weight, they'll always be idiots. I will admit that from time to time, they still get under my skin, but not as often and they don't stay there as long. Hope this helps. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
