Grudges can poison relationships from "summary" of Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

Morgan knew all too well the power of holding a grudge. She had spent years harboring resentment towards her husband for his infidelity, and it had slowly eaten away at their relationship. The love they once shared had been replaced by bitterness and distrust, poisoning every interaction they had. The grudge had a way of seeping into every aspect of their lives. It colored the way they communicated with each other, turning even the most innocent conversations into battlegrounds. Morgan found herself constantly on edge, waiting for the next argument to erupt, unable to let go of the betrayal that had wounded her so deeply. But it wasn't just her relationship with her husband that had suffered. Her daughter, Clara, had also been affected by the toxicity of the grudge. Morgan's inability to move past her hurt had created a rift between them, driving a wedge between mother and daughter that seemed impossible to bridge. As Morgan watched her family unravel before her eyes, she realized the destructive power of holding onto anger and resentment. She saw how the grudge had tainted every interaction, poisoning the love that had once bound them together. She knew that if she didn't find a way to let go of the past, it would continue to destroy everything she held dear. In a moment of clarity, Morgan understood that the only way to save her relationships was to release the grudge that had consumed her for so long. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she also knew that it was the only way to heal the wounds that had been festering for years. And so, with a deep breath and a heavy heart, she made the decision to forgive, not just for her family, but for herself as well.
