Biblical Answer

Dealing with the anger and frustration of being scammed by a family member can be a difficult and complex issue. On one hand, it is natural to feel angry and frustrated when someone we trust and love has betrayed us in such a way. On the other hand, we must not let our anger consume us and lead us down a path of revenge or retaliation. Instead, we should seek to address the situation in a way that is wise and loving, rather than simply trying to "get even" with the person who scammed us.

One way to deal with this anger and frustration is to seek guidance and support from others. This could be a trusted friend, family member, or even a professional counselor. They can offer wise counsel and help us to see things from a different perspective. It's also important to remember that we are not alone in this situation, and that many people have gone through similar experiences. Don't be afraid to reach out for help, whether it's through a support group like Al-Anon or a trusted mentor. By seeking guidance and support, we can begin to process our emotions and develop a plan for moving forward.

Ultimately, dealing with the anger and frustration of being scammed by a family member requires a deep sense of humility and a willingness to confront our own flaws and weaknesses. As the Bible says, "If your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them, then come and offer your gift" (Matthew 5:23-24). This means that we must take responsibility for our own actions and attitudes, and be willing to make amends and seek reconciliation with the person who wronged us. Only then can we begin to heal and move forward, and find a way to forgive and rebuild our relationship with the person who scammed us. By taking this approach, we can begin to break free from the cycle of anger and frustration, and find a path towards healing and restoration.
