Any pointers on how to get rid of my anger and resentment?

It goes a long way to stop dwelling on the stuff that makes you angry and resentful and practice thought control. Feelings follow thoughts. Make a deal with yourself that you're going to stop commiserating over things that were out of your control that have hurt you. As soon as the thought comes, get rid of it. It will get easier and easier to do. Remember that you can't stop a bird from landing on your head, but you can stop them from building a nest.

Be your own best friend and save yourself from having a lousy life filled with resentment just because of what someone else immaturely decided to do with theirs. Recognize that these past events say a lot more about her than they ever could about you. Always take the higher road.

Fill up as much of your time as possible with other stuff to help keep your focus on positives in your life and other things at hand. And live in the moment, with an eye toward the future, instead of the reliving the past, and use the emotion to resolve to do what it takes for you to do to climb out of this thing alive, stronger and better. And you will.
