Has anyone become bitter and stayed that way, because someone treated them badly years ago?

I'm a very bitter soul on occassions. However, I have yet to be given the oppertunity to heal old wounds as they keep being ripped open again and again so to speak. Given the adequate amount of time to heal, I would say that I won't be as bitter, though I highly doubt I will ever stop being bitter entirely. I don't let it take over my life, consumed by bitterness is no way to live. I fell hatred and bitterness, all of that, but I have things that over ride that, like love and friendship. So yes, I am bitter, but I don't think it makes me any less of a good person

My stepmother who is now in her 80s. A very unfortunate incident with an overseas serviceman during WW2 left her hurt and bitter. She put a barrier up around herself to prevent being hurt again but she does this by hurting other people and not letting anyone come emotionally close to her. I feel very sorry for her as she has lived a life of anger, hate, anguish and pain.

Yes, that would be me......... And I still to this day am bitter for the most part. The more I work on it, the longer I have a "good stretch" but it never really goes away. I am even plain spiteful sometimes. I can't help it, I don't know how to change these negative feelings! (believe me I dont enjoy being cranky)
