The rage is eating me alive!!!!!!

I’m full of rage towards my parents. Both of them were abusive to me in every way possible. Sometimes they beat me until I bled; they starved me as a kid because they thought I was too big for my age. My mom put me on strict diets since I was 9 and made me undergo gastric sleeve surgery at the age of 16. My dad was completely absent, but whenever he showed up, he would hurt me as well. They always told me I was a failure, ugly, and a bad child.

But ever since I grew up and rebelled against them hard for my own rights as a human being, they’ve changed a lot. It’s not like the abuse has completely disappeared, but I have the courage to stop them now. Still, I’m really full of rage towards them. I find myself trying to hurt and bother them as much as I can, and I feel incredibly guilty about it.

I love them, I really do, because I know that’s how they were raised, too. They thought they were doing all of that for my own good. I’m a grown ass woman trying to let go because I can’t stand living with a heavy heart anymore; it’s killing me. I don’t know what to do. I’ve been seeing psychiatrists and therapists for years, and nothing is working!

yeah, in my 20's I went through that, I was so mad at my father and sister for how they made me feel during my youth. I still carry some of that frustration but it just gets diluted with all the other more positive and new things in my life. also I meditate and try to fix those thigs from the inside. I try to be aware that I am carrying an unnecessary weight and that the present is the only thing that exists. I tune my state of mind on the present instead of tuning it to the past. right now I am quietly siting at my laptop, this is what I choose to be feeling right now. tons of bad stuff from the past I could drag out and feel shitty about. my motto is that what goes on within my should be voluntary and useful. why are you thinking of this? are you really choosing to think of that crap right now or it just wondered in your mind? is it useful? does it promote some kind of positive change? if not you can choose to think and feel something else.
