Anger Towards My Aunt

[OnlySunshine]

I posted here a week ago about the spat that I had with my aunt after Church last Sunday. It's much worse than I thought. She wrote my mom a letter saying that she wouldn't be riding to Church or sitting with us anymore and then had the audacity to blame the whole argument on me! I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't say anything disrespectful--I was simply defending myself against her criticisms. I am really tired of her. I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore because anytime I feel like we are making amends she goes and does something childish like this. She holds such animosity towards me and completely lied before when she said that she would respect our family. I want to forgive her and stop thinking about this whole thing, but I don't know if I can. She is so toxic and hateful. And to top it all off, my mom is talking to her right now which I cannot believe since my mom told me that she would be on my side. It's all I can do not to call her up and tell her what I think.

Please pray that I can forgive her and let this go. I don't need to hold hate in my heart for anyone, no matter what the reason. I don't need her bad influence brushing off on me. Thanks.
