- There’s one person I can’t stop resenting, and the bitterness loops in my head and exhausts me
- I thought I’d let it go, and then weeks later the old anger floods back out of nowhere
- Every conversation with my kid about their behavior turns into me laying down the law and them digging in, and I want a way to actually talk it through together
- Nothing is technically wrong, but I’ve stopped noticing the good things about my partner and the small resentments just keep stacking up quietly
