At the root of hate is fear. We don't know it but we become the bold lady that looks down on a kids dream because hers never became true. You notice how bitter that old lady is from giving up and how it affect all areas of her life. Then all she does is gives warnings about not dreaming big. Well that becomes us when we give up on love. Then we become bitter and angry and give warnings all day.
Finding love is not easy and heartbreak is real but it can happen.
But it's up to you to have the strength to be open to love again.
Now this doesn't take away from what you have been through in no way and some men truly did you wrong
But don't become that old lady bitter because deep down inside she whishes she would have tried again.
Be open to love even it means a friendship, adopting, finding a new activity and more.
It's doesn't have to be a man, but when we close off love because of heartache it affects how we show up and love in other areas
Now this may take counseling, and time but be patient Prayer:
God I prayer for women all over that you will open our hearts and may we love again. May we have the faith that their are people that we can love and this time it will be safe. May we also be a safe place where people can find love also. May we be able to accept by faith your love and know that is the biggest command you gave us. To love.
So may we not allow the enemy to come in rob us of our ability to love. Tonight God we come to you to let go of those who did not love us and let them loose for what they did to us and forgive them. We grab back the faith that you love us and that we will exhibit and attract the ones you want to love us. We open our hand to love and receive it. Amen If you've never accepted Christ as your Savior and feel led to, I invite you now to open your heart to Him. Ask Jesus to come into your life, forgive your sins, and be your Lord and Savior #datingadviceforwomen#abuserecovery#narcabusesurvivor#jesusdaughter#singlemomstruggleslife

... Read moreIn my personal journey, I discovered that the root of bitterness often lies in unhealed wounds and the fear of repeating past mistakes. The article rightly points out that when we give up on love, we risk becoming like the bitter old lady who warns others not to dream big because she lost faith herself. I found that acknowledging this fear was the first step toward breaking that cycle.
It’s common to hear warnings from family—sometimes unintentionally passing down their own unresolved hurt and skepticism about relationships. This generational pattern can make it difficult to recognize what a healthy, loving relationship really looks like. It took me some time, and often counseling, to unpack these inherited beliefs and begin to redefine love on my own terms.
Practical changes also made a big difference. I started opening my heart in broader ways—not only by seeking romantic relationships but by cultivating supportive friendships, engaging in fulfilling activities, and even considering alternative paths to family like adoption. These shifts helped me heal emotionally and softened my resistance to love.
Faith, as mentioned in the prayer, was a vital part of my healing process. Embracing a higher power’s unconditional love helped me forgive those who wronged me, release bitterness, and gain strength to be vulnerable again. This spiritual foundation can offer comfort and resilience when the pain of past hurt feels overwhelming.
Lastly, patience is key. Healing and opening up again aren’t overnight journeys. It took time to accept that it’s okay to be careful while still remaining hopeful. To anyone battling bitterness from heartbreak, remember that love isn’t just about romantic relationships. It’s about connection, trust, and growth in all areas of life. When we let fear dictate our outlook, we miss out on the abundant love waiting to surround us.
By embracing healing, counseling, faith, and intentional openness, we can rewrite our love stories and break free from the destructive cycle of bitterness and fear.
