For the first time in my life, I’m forced to be in a relationship with someone (my ex) whom I wish I could have nothing to do with. After every other breakup I’ve had in the past, it’s been easier to move on and forgive since I was able to completely remove the person from my life. After the divorce, I’m forced to see my ex at least twice a week because we have kids together. I have no choice and it’s a hard realization for me that I’m going to have to put up with my ex until the day I die.

I’m having such a hard time letting go of this resentment and hate that I have for her. I want to forgive and rid myself of these negative feelings but it’s difficult when she continues to act in a way that harms me and our kids. She makes me feel like I’m in a nightmare that I can’t wake up from. It’s hard to move on from someone that will be a permanent part of my life.
