- Go to Grandma believes that you must let go of old resentments or they will
Yes, we must all have one or some of those in our closets. It is hard. I really enjoyed reading this...it made me think. Thank you for letting me know my writing format had changed (I was on a different computer today). I rewrote, and if it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you pop in and check it for me?

Re: I know that loving self first will then enable us to love others
Kabu, my mom, after we lived in Brasil, made a voodoo doll of one of her tormentors and when his life went really badly soon after, scared her so much, that she gave up macumba (voodoo) forever.
Better to try to step away from it all, but, I agree, visiting Zorg comes upon a rapid transit transporter and I'm there and upset again.

I have so much trouble with the past darling. Wiley sees me go to my planet of Zorg and he knows I am trying to release the pain from something or someone.

Re: Trying
I keep trying mousehop, but this person keeps taking up friendships with younger and newer and impressionable relatives of mine now, these many decades later and befriending them and I just want them to stay out of my family as they did for a few decades previously.
Trying, trying, trying and trying again, to forgive, to let go, to forget.
Thanks for entering the confessional with me and making me feel less alone in this sorrow of mine.

Trying
There are people I have a hard time forgiving. There are events in my past that still hurt every time I think of them. I have tried to let go, and sometimes I feel like I'm making progress, but then some new trigger will appear. I guess we just have to keep trying.
