Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
AS my friends here know I have been doing quite well. I have worked so hard to improve my depression. I saw my therapist Monday. When I first went in to see her I was feeling very good. Then the subject of a sister-in-law came up, since then I have been thinking about it almost non-stop. I can honestly say that I hate my sister-in-law. Now, before everyone starts......I know feeling this intense, raging, hate for this person isn't good for me and is giving her power over me. My question is I guess, has anyone else ever felt this way, and if so how did you get through it (if you have), and how long did it take you? I have felt hate before and in time I have been able to come to terms with it and release it. I've been able to find forgivness for the ex, it took close to four years, but I did it. My sister-in-law has hurt me not only with actions but with very harsh words toward me and my children. I guess I'm wondering even though I think I want to stop hating her maybe I'm just not ready. Something to explore. I will admitt it is very difficult for me to hear anything rationally where this horrible person is concerned. The story between us is a long one.

I don't know your whole history with your SIL, but I sure can relate. I can be very angry and bitter and I just can't seem to let things go. Some people are not worth having in your life because they are poison to you. If this is your SIL, while it sucks to feel so much hate and we need to learn to let it go for our own sakes, don't beat yourself up about it.
