that I have been able to (pretty much) turn a negative experience where I might usually grow and nurture a tremendous resentment into an opportunity for growth.  I just keep telling myself that I have so much to learn and this is another chance at learning.  So many people have issues worse than mine.  Some compassion on my part is the order of the day.  But at the same time, I don't have to be a doormat.  Finding that right balance is very difficult for me.  My sponsor will be able to help my perception, so we're going to sit and discuss this.
