Resentment

I have a real juicy resentment about my brother, he is the type of person who feels better by putting others down. When he last spoke to me he just had to slip into the conversation "you have no friends" that really p'eed me off because it is exactly what he used to say when I was drinking and depended on him for company, as i said I was the clown or the punch bag. well the thing is he know sod all about me, but WANTS to assume the worse. he can never be happy for me, always has to find something wrong to joke about to compare to and to better than. I hate it and this one will not go away, I have preyed for the sucker oh yes but I am resentful as a son of a gun!!


HELP!!!


Ps I am also hurting, he has taken me back to a painful place

YOU__________my brother, he is the type of person who feels better by putting others down.


 


ROSIE__________ i have an  older "brother from hell"  too..........when he puts me down, i merely tell him   "thank u for your share, but i don't own what u think"........one time he just kind of kept going and i said  "well u can keep making bad karma, drinking and i'll stay in recovery, making GOOD karma,  and what u think of me is NONE of my business"


i have since stopped/  refuse to take his calls.....reply to any notes,  i CUT HIM OFF........the bottom line is...i am in recovery...he is not.....END of story....so WHO is the loser here????? not me.....i find that people who have to put others down, are miserable and pitiful small people who don't deserve our reactions or upset.....i just avoid them......give them over to their HP and  AVOID........their negative karma is catching,  so it behooves me to stay away..........just my take,  please use what works, and leave the rest.........rosie

Been thinkin that for a while, I can never bully people so it hurts when people are the opposite to me,. and I have never recieved a compliment off them two only critisism, cant be bothered with it any longer.

I had an Alanon sponsor....a little while ago that taught me a few things about "Detatching with love" "The best reaction is no reaction"  "Let it go"  and "Cant change em"


 


These 4 sayings have saved my butt a few times...from reacting...all over the map...
