    Dear Anita

    by forgiving i meant not giving others the power to hurt you even if they are not even in your life , the anger that all the memories of past causes over and over again .

    You are welcome to explore and process the message in your anger here, on your thread, if you feel comfortable enough doing so. As a matter of fact, ifit works for you, we can do it together: I will further process my anger while you process yours:i would be glad to do it with you but i don`t know how that works exactly , what is your idea about processing your anger?

    Dear famaz:

    I don`t know how that works exactly… processing your anger“- in the context of this forum: we both don’t know if and how it works. We can try. I will start by bringing up to my mind one memory where I was abused, and the anger I felt-feel,  and I will express my anger in words. You can do the same later, regarding a chosen memory of yours, if you want.

    In my mind’s eye I see my mother- a tall, strong figure-  looking at me- a small, weak child- with disdain, letting me know in no uncertain terms, by the look in her eyes, that I am an inferior specimen; an undesirable, defected, inadequate product, a mistake that she- the best mother in the world- was stuck with because she has bad luck.

    I see, still in my mind’s eye, the child that I was lowering her gaze, looking down at the floor, while she, the tall-strong figure, is spitting words at me, shaming, humiliating words, while she  swings her right arm to the right, to the left, and hits my face with an open big hand, right cheek, left cheek… hot cheeks, hot from her hand and from my anger and humiliation…. “ZERO, ZERO, one BIG ZERO” she says, she screams. The child waits until the tall-strong figure gets tired, hoping she’ll be pleased that I am hurt enough, that I do not resist. She gets tired, she looks at her arms and says: look what YOU did to me, my arms are tired because of YOU!

    Next image: I see the child growing into a tall and strong figure, this is me.. and I see her shrink into a small, weak figure and I see my big right hand become a fist and I punch her right in the face, boom! BOOM! Her face fractures, pieces disintegrate and disperse in all directions, and her body falls to the floor, like broken pieces of furniture. And I step on those pieces and smash them to nothingness, SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!.

    I look around me: nothing moves, nothing is said.. silence… no more shame, no more pain… huh.. life can be this good…

    Done with my imagery/ processing. When I hit her face (in the imagery) there was a tingling sensation around my heart, and now, I don’t feel as tired as I felt before the imagery, I feel stronger, more in charge… like life can be this good.

    * A disclaimer: this has been only an imagery, of course, I do not recommend violence in real life.

    dear anita

    i think that would work .

    like in therapy sessions in which you live your trauma once more and express your real feeling or relive it and you are hopefully replaying it in your mind again

    Dear famaz:

    You are welcome to proceed anytime.. if you so choose. But please stay true to the Forums Guidelines for a Positive Space (click Forums at the top of the page to read about the guidelines), and also-  please add a disclaimer, like I did.

    Dear famaz:

    Just in case you need to know (regarding the exercise we are talking about), I will soon be away from the computer for  a few hours. Also, for the sake of abundance of caution: the idea behind the exercise is in the context of Self-Help, as this is not a professional setting, and I am not a counselor, a therapist or any other kind of health care professional. We are two members of equal standing on this website.

    Dear famaz:

    The reason I brought up the time zone issue 2 days ago was that I thought that if you chose to do the anger-exercise and if you wanted a quick response from me, then you may want to submit your anger-exercise-post while I am online. If you are okay with not receiving a quick response, you can submit a post any time and I will reply within an hour or within 10 hours or so. If you choose to not do the exercise, that’s fine with me: you can talk about anything you wish.

    Dear Famaz:

    I already started (my imagery two days ago, above). I am fine with starting again, but how would you like me to start?

    Dear Famaz:

    My imagery was about real-life events (2nd & 3rd paragraphs),  except for the part that starts with “Next image” (4th paragraph: I didn’t really punch her). Please do go on with your real situation.

    Dear Anita

    i`m so so sorry for misunderstanding it .

    you know my style is different i can`t describe the scenes that happened to me with a lot of details maybe because i blocked them because the events made me sad and angry. but i can describe how i felt exactly

    for example when i was in high school , something happened. i dont remember what exactly , but i know the reaction of my family was not proportional to the situation , that was awful ,i remember my mom was so angry and my brother told her why you bring her (me)in this world after all !!! they were brutal , i remember my dad was not exactly defending me but wasnot as aggressive as them , i cried for hours , and i had a puffy face next morning when i went to school and my friend noticed and ask me about that i didnt say anything to her , now that i look back i think i believed them and that situation make me so miserable, i felt worthless  but not completely , i think even in that time i realized something is not right about the reaction , i could forgive my mom more easily but my brother was so cruel , actually he is not changed that much

    now that i look back if i could talk to my mom i would say you F up , what kind of mother would say that , do you think blaming me and some how separating yourself from me because of  my imperfections makes you a superior person and good mother ????

    i think seeing that kind of cold behavior from my mother  made myself insensitive  and cold to others too , i realized a lot of stuff i say to people is too direct and hurtful and i didn`t consider  their reasoning behind their behavior and i was selfish
