Wishing bad on someone

[Odinist_Wondering]

Have you ever really wished the worst on someone? I don't know which god or goddess although it might be more than one. But I am a mother of 2 children. Right now I don't have my son the father does and the father likes to keep my son from me. It just infurates me. To the point I am thinking in my head. I hope you die you scumbag. Anyone else ever felt this way and is this right or wrong?

Have you ever thought about taking some time, thinking about all the questions you have and asking them in one or two threads?

[Hengest]

OW, I think that most people have those feelings at some point and it is quite natural.

I think the key is learning to channel that anger in a positive direction and that is something that I have seen many people do through Odinism. I have not been in your situation so it is hard to advise in your case but I would suspect that it is not good for your son to have a mother filled with anger (even though it may well be justified).

I hope others who have been in your situation will reply.

And please don't worry about asking questions, that is how conversations start.

We are not fluffy bunnies, we are red blooded human beings and it is only normal to be mad at someone else at one point. I've found that after a point though, you realise that all the energy you dispense on negativity can be used towards positive things, and I just trust that the wyrd that others have weaved for themselves will come back one day all on its own. No use in worrying about it!

I have had to learn just recently to forgive people who have hurt me. I found that forgiving them was the best thing for me and by forgiving I was able to move forward with my life. Anger only hurt me in the long run and forgiveness is helping me to put the past behind me and move into the future with peace in my heart.

Good luck and I wish you the best.

I believe a person reaps what they sow.

Oh I've been very angry in my past and it's done nothing but take me down with it. There is a movie I watched but only once, 13th warrior. I believe the character was Herger the Joyus. He was challenged to a fight. In traditional ways this is done to the death. However, being much smaller and wiser tricked his foe and used his aggression against him to victory.

It's apparent you love your son. You're a good mother. Patience is the ammunition in your war. Be happy, because your sons father doesn't want you to be and your happiness is his weakness.

You know I have learned that my energy can be used elsewere. I thought for awhile that being upset at him would do me some good. Only to tire me out did it do. It wore me out worrying about him. So for now I put my energy elsewere and I try to keep a positive feelings about things.
