Brother & Sister Problems/Sister's betrayal

Advertisement


Question
How can I overcome the terrible anger and hurt caused by my sister's
betrayal? I found out she had been stealing the money I sent to support
our mother. Although I have confronted her by email and in person, I still
have tremendous rage boiling inside me because she refuses to pay the
money back. I do biofeedback and started a blog (www.sisterbetrayal.com)
to verbalize and express my feelings as well as provide a forum for others
with similar experiences. However, I cannot get over it.  

Answer
Hello,
  Anger is something every human has to deal with, it might not be easy. My family went through a similar situation. Yeah, it sure took a long time to forgive that person, but no matter what we were still going to be family. Just make sure she knows how much she hurt you and the other options she had instead of stealing. Remember that you have to forgive, but never forget. Open you eyes wide and learn from it.
Good luck,
  Keld
