Thank you for the video link, it was a common theme. I have been reading 4 books simultaneously ("Getting Back Together" by Masa Goetz/Bettie Youngs, "How to get it Together When Your World is Coming Apart" by Donald Morgan, "Who Ordered This Truckload of Dung" by Ajahn Brahm, and "Divorce Care, 365 Daily Devotions" by Kathy Leonard & Steve Grissom)
They all have sections on addressing anger and the process (and it is an arduous process) of seeking/choosing forgiveness. It's a hard road and being angry is not a clever response because it is usually a self-preservation reaction or frustrated with unmet expectations.
I felt really bad & like an ingrate on how I reacted to my friend who invited me over to his place on NYE out of kindness and I was just lashing-out due to 8 months of frustration. I do have to focus on learning, growth, and renewal....which is hard....but necessary.
You got to choose to love yourself first.......which is hard, especially when the default reaction is to often be your own worst critic!
