Anger, resentment, healing.

August 16, 2022

When you realize that your parents were wrong in your childhood, you become angry and resentful. Anger tells you that you disagree. Resentment tells you that you expect a different attitude. And as the first stage of healing, anger and resentment are very important. They show a discrepancy between what you were given and what you needed. But if the healing goes on, you notice that even though you are an adult, you continue to behave as if someone is not treating you right. Replay the old pattern yourself. Breaking this pattern involves letting go of anger and resentment. The disappearance of anger and resentment does not mean that your parents have stopped misbehaving. It means that you yourself have stopped behaving toward yourself the way your parents once did.
