[Faith-talk] thank you all

[Christine Olivares]

Debbie,
I completely understand where you are coming from. I have a friend who is just like that. we get on each others’ nerves all the time and say really hurtful things, but we always do make up. Sometimes we forget we are Christians and act immature or childish instead of being angry in a healthy way. I know how hard this is. Thank you for sharing a difficult situation with us.

God bless,
Christine

It's still a bit emotionally raw for me, and has not been resolved.  My husband's brother's wife and I have had a rocky relationship.  I think it's perhaps that in some ways we are alike, so we butt heads.  Or we are so opposite, maybe? I don't know.  Anyway, we were dealing with some issues regarding our mother-in-law, and I asked a question that obviously she didn't like.  Now, I thought that it was a good question, and one that needed to be asked.  Now my husband who was observing all of this told me that as soon as I asked the question her body language changed, and she became angry.  We both said things that we shouldn't have said, and when I tried to walk away, she made one last comment, which made me so angry that I really lost it.  That led to some very nasty emails.  Did I act in a Christian way? No.  But for now, there is really nothing I can do to fix it.  I don't know if I ever will be able to.  I am very sorry about what happened, and wish that things could be different.  But they can't.  Not yet anyway.  Sometimes we need time and distance.  My guess is that you'll meet some time, maybe years from now, and things will be better.    Blessings,    Debby
