Does the voice inside your head keep reminding you of a painful life episode?

When Dad’s Alzheimer’s disease made it dangerous for him to drive, my brothers and I got together and convinced him to stop. I bought his car, and though he was OK with it at first, he came to believe that I stole his car. He looked at me with hatred in his eyes and the last time I saw him he was yelling at me to get out.

Did it sting? Yes. Does the voice inside my head beat me up about it? No, because Dad wasn’t able to process things clearly, and I was. I reminded myself that it wasn’t his rational, loving brain in charge, it was his broken one, and that helped me cope with his anger. I loved him and loved myself enough to let the rest go.

Who do you need to love like that today? What do you need to remind your brain to let go of?
