Do you have any suggestions about what worked for you?

To be honest, not all of my resentments have gone away either. 99% of them have, but I still carry resentment against my parents (granted, not nearly as intense). I have done multiple 4th & 5th steps on this, had therapy, etc. The resentments are manageable today, and only pop up on occasion. I do not eat over them, I do not under eat because of them, nor do I act out in any way.
The things that work for me the
most is doing a daily 10th step, gratitude lists, journaling, meditation, talking to my wife, and my therapist (I am still in therapy.)
I am not entirely sure if all resentments go away completely. For me, it's a
daily reprieve
