People who hold grudges become very bitter people too bitter to be around.
@cherokeepatti Exactly and those who aren't able to forgive can be as well.

@sensualbeauty1 my ex is horrible that way. He hated his older sister because when they were little kids she ate a chocolate bar at the gas station his parents managed and blamed him. I mean he was 30 years old and hateful as he could be to her over that. She died over 15 years ago of cancer and i doubt he has ever forgave her. And anything else he can hold a grudge against someone he’ll do it.
@cherokeepatti I cannot imagine or even fathom something like that. We all make mistakes or do something in our lives that we regret at times but we're only human. To hold a grudge and not forgive a sibling or someone you love is beyond comprehension. I'm so sorry, that's just really sad.

@sensualbeauty1 It is sad. I think he didn’t like it when we’d go over to his parents house and she was there and I treated her decently and talked to her. So nasty and he would always make some kind of barbed remark to her when he was there, at least once every single time. He did things many times worse to people and didn’t want to be reminded of those things.
@cherokeepatti How horrible, well you took the moral high road and were nice to her which is wonderful. I was thinking I had 5 siblings, the oldest died almost 3 years ago. She had a very rare genetic disease that affected both her body and brain. Unfortunately she did a lot of damage by spreading rumors that weren't true about different family members. It was difficult, but we all realized she was very sick and not responsible for those toxic nasty words.

@sensualbeauty1 the last time I saw her was a few years after the divorce at the store where she was working. I had taken my daughter there to apply for a job. I complimented her on her weight loss, she had lost a great deal and had never seen her so slim and asked her how she did it. We had a nice talk while I was there. I’m glad I never let her think I hated her like her brother did. She wasn’t perfect but she didn’t deserve his constant venom.
@cherokeepatti Kindness is a beautiful thing, I'm sure she was so grateful for your words and compliments. I remind myself every day when something doesn't go right, that we are all a work in progress and none of us are perfect.

@sensualbeauty1 I found a good opportunity to compliment her and why not, it’s not easy to lose weight when a person has been overweight all their adult life. Another thing my ex put her down for was her weight, she was tall but overweight. Just sad she got cancer a few years later after doing so. I just wonder if he ever has a moment of regret for the nasty way he treated her.
@cherokeepatti That's quite an accomplishment especially if one is overweight most of their adult life. The compliments were well deserved. Yes it's so sad, I truly abhor that word "Cancer" I've got a close family member fighting it right now and it's scary to know we're not as invincible as we think we are. Honestly one would hope your ex will truly regret his actions one day, why hold all that bitterness in your heart?
