[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 65569, member: 3647"] What Nomad says is true! Although I learned it in a different manner, it is the same basic concept. It deals with forgiveness, and how God forgives everyone. God forgives your EX. If you cannot, does that make you better (more knowledgeable) than God? You forgive him, let God handle it. Also, it takes less energy to forgive someone than to hold a grudge. Start with praying for him. If you need to, start slow. Let's say that your goal is to eventually pray for him to be healthy. You might start with praying that when he gets hit by the train that you are hoping he gets hit by, he dies quickly instead of suffering. (insert laughter) Of course this is far fetched, this is something we used to joke about at AA meetings. The point is, it is very hard to pray for good things for someone that you have seething anger towards. Start small. Little by little, pray for better things for them. Eventually, pray for the ability to forgive them. One day, you will. And one day, you will be able to pray for his happiness. **Forgiving someone is not the same as saying that what they did is OK. It is saying that you are giving it up to God for Him to judge.** Nomad Also hit the nail on the head about living well. It is the best "revenge". It really really works. Try it. [/QUOTE]
