First "real" resentment in sobriety
To sum it up, yesterday there was an incredible betrayal in my family. My mother and severely ill disabled sister are being forced out of there home.
I am absolutely enraged. But its none of my business. The people involved, when listed out, do not include me. And yet I feel like my entire body is on fire. I know part of it is shame. Shame that I cant help my mom financially in a significant enough way to make anything better.
I dont know how to process this in a spiritually sound way. I want to cause a scene, start a fight, be a bitch, call people names. None of that is acceptable, appropriate, or would help my mom in any way. It would just make things worse.
Its not a problem I can drink at, part of my has thought about it, but I just reached 8 months sober, and for this my mom said she was proud of me for the first time in nearly 2 decades.
How have you guys learned to be able to sit with injustices, rage, and hurt in a way that isnt destructive to yourself or those around you? I want to follow whatever lead my mom sets on how to handle the situation, and right now its gracefully. I do not feel graceful.
