I know this is very true for me as well!

I've been struggling with resentment a lot, especially in the last couple of months.

I keep waiting for some validation from AH for all of my anger, and a really great heart felt apology, and I feel like then I can get over it. But I know that's not going to happen, and I've known that for a while.

I've been wondering if I will ever be able to get over the resentments and the anger if I do not leave the relationship. Will I be able to truly move forward in my recovery if I stay with him and he is not working on recovery? Sure hasn't been the case so far... I am making some progress, but definitely not as quickly as I would like.

I've wondered if what Thumper said below, would be true for me as well....

"Once I was free from the relationship - the anger and resentment lifted."

I don't know...

Thanks for this thread Liz
