How do I forgive?

...See more I am currently struggling with forgiving the people in my life who have wronged me. From stealing money to domestic abuse to just plain betrayal. You know the saying 'those you love hurt you the most'? Well, it's true. Only I HAVE to let go of this anger and resentment or else it'll destroy me. Just wanted to know if anyone had any tips on forgiveness.

What are you supposed to do when you can't trust the people you love?

...See more Someone in my house, and I know who, stole a lot of money from me. I confronted him about it and he apologized and gave excuses and said he'd pay it back. He's stolen from the family before and he was my first suspect when that money went missing from my card and when I asked him about he lied to my face and even offered me comfort when I broke down, stressing about how to pay for the bills this month without that money. I am going to college part time and have a full time job at a fast food place. I struggle to make ends meet and he takes it with no second thought. He told me he lied cuz he felt guilty and I believe him but this isn't the first time. He's been doing this for over five years. He isn't the only one either. My own brother has stolen hundreds from us for drugs and so did my sister and aunt. Even my mom in her glory days stole money from the family for drugs. I feel like I can't trust anyone in my family and I feel so unsafe financially and physically at times. They say the ones you love hurt you the most and I have to say from first hand experience that it's true. What am I supposed to do? Any advice?

...See more Why do i have trouble trusting people yet i give myself out freely? I am always doubting people's intentions yet i still allow myself to give pieces of myself away, knowing that they could very well use it against me, which has happened more times than i can count. People call me naive, and maybe I am, but seeing other people struggling hits me cuz i know what it's like to struggle through life. I just don't want others to hurt the way I've been hurt. Yet i just keep getting hurt. So when I talk to people on here, i can't actually see their face and expression so I'm a lot more closed off because I can't see their pain so i don't want to venture into my own pain because I have serious trust issues. Does that make sense to anybody?

Why?

...See more Why do people expect so much from me? Why can't I just sleep all day without worrying about my responsibilities? Why do people hold me so high but when I slip just a little, I'm a disappointment? Why can't I just be happy? Why do I have to explain myself when people don't really care? Why should I say something when I know I won't get any actual help? Why do I keep trying? Just....why?

...See more I hate myself. So much. I don't know why I keep trying. I've thought about that oh so terrible sin that'll end things multiple times, but been too much of a coward. Christian household, burning in eternal *** is a great motivator to stay alive. I just don't know how much longer I can keep this up, pretending I'm fine. People have it worse, a lot worse, i know that. My situation isn't as bad as it could be. At least i have somewhere to live now. I'm just so tired of fighting this endless war. Please help me. My guardian can't find out, she'd blame herself and say she didn't do enough or wasn't good enough. That my failure was her failure and that i should have said something sooner. She lost kids before, both due to their own actions, and i can't do that to her. Please, i need help.

Struggling With Shame
Trauma Support / by KnowNoLove

...See more My dad took my mom's life after decades of abuse. He's in prison and she's gone. I basically became an orphan at ten years old. I am still so angry, at both of them, but mainly with myself. He didn't love us, we weren't good enough for him. In the eight years since her death, he's only reached out once looking for money so he can get a lawyer. Can you believe that? I could. My guardian told me I need to stop telling people about what happened and stop talking about it cuz it's shameful. My dad murdering my mom...is shameful to me? I didn't get why at first, but then I thought about. Being the daughter of a dangerous man who can easily take away someone's life...yeah, I could see their point. But what about what I'm feeling? I'm tired of being the orphan girl with a killer dad. Or the girl that came from a family of addicts. Or the sad lonely girl who doesn't know what love is. I've been called many things; attention ***, hypochondriac, orphan, loner, *** (still a virgin, BTW), fat, ugly, murderers child, devil's spawn, child addict, delinquent, careless, selfish, and many others. The thing is, I have a lot of shame but I am unsure where it all came from. Yeah, outside sources aren't helping much, but where is the real shame coming from? Is it me? Am I the problem? Most likely. If anyone has any suggestions or pointers for overcoming shame, please help a girl out. In all honesty, I'm not even sure if it's shame I'm feeling. If you have any ideas what I could really be feeling, please share them. I need help but this girl ain't got money for a therapist and most people don't understand or pretend to but only make me feel worse. Thank!
