A few people have wronged me quite severely in the past. How do I deal with such an issue?

1 Answer

Answer :

I was abused in my childhood by a family member. When I started dealing with it in therapy, I eventually wrote this person a letter confronting them and showing my anger. We didn’t speak for a few years but are now back on better terms. The confrontation didn’t take away the bitterness but it lessened it and strengthened me. I would suggest either that and/or therapy so that your current life isn’t poisoned if you can’t leave it behind you.
