I need to get over what my sister did to me when we were living together. I can't continue being VERY ANGRY at her, it's affecting my health, it's affecting my speech & can affect my psoriasis too. I can't forgive her, but I want to forget & move on.

Has this happen to anyone before?

Sort of. It wasn't as important because the person I used to live with wasn't related to me, but it did take me a long time to get over what happened.

I completely lost my self esteem. I felt terrible because of how I'd been treated. I felt like I must be an awful person to have such string angry feelings of resentment towards someone

I don't know what helped in the end, other than letting time pass. As time passed the feelings faded and I found other things to focus on.

I haven't spoken to her in 5 years. But with a sister it's more complicated. There's that bond you don't want to sever completely. So it hurts to think of not talking to a sister.

I don't know what the solution is.

I'm angry with this guy who I felt messed me around last year. Every time I start thinking about him and getting upset I've been trying to make myself think about something else. I've been going to the gym too so that I can burn off all that angry energy rather than letting it build up inside of me.

I was like you, lost my self esteem. I felt terrible because of how I'd been treated. I felt like I must be an awful person to have such string angry feelings of resentment towards someone. It like she kicked me where it hurt the most, it felt like she took advantaged of me. I was living on my own & then years later, my mom died, I moved in in mom's house, I lived with my sister & my nephew, later my sister's alcoholic husband moved in.
