OMG I love this quote!!!!
For me 3 the way I did not get stuck in bitter was to sit with and work through the anger. Therapy and Al-Anon was my biggest help at this time.
I also just wanted to say that accepting that I was angry (again and again and again), accepting that I was still angry helped too.
I was SO fearful that I was going to be stuck in the anger forever. It took longer than I anticipated but on the other side I have found that my anger is crucial to my self-care, my boundaries and it is a clue for me to examine when something might be wrong.
You got this!
