I hate my sons mother, she ruined my life, I love my son to death and iam there for him..when she got preggo I barely knew her, but I stuck by her regardless of what people were saying, people were telling me she was no good but I didn't listen she was already pregnant what was I suppose to do? Walk away? I chose to stick by her because Of my son but the ***** ended up using me, I had a lot going for me, I had great credit money in the bank my bills were up to date and now I live at home w my mom paying child support and swimming in the bills she left me with what girls gonna wanna date me now? Least of my problems but it's there... she lives luxury on welfare telling the whole world she's independent, and telling the whole world she's the victim, I hate it because I feel used I'm a good guy and now I'm stuck living with hate and resentment watching her live better than me when she didn't do squat but lie and cheat, I cut her out of my life but the thought of her screwing me and setting me back a big chunk kills me everyday I wanna forget about it I already hate her I just wanna get over this resentment and move on a my life but idk how, its hard it consumes me everyday..any good advice out there?

Its hard to get rid of resentment and thats something that you're gonna have to get rid of by yourself at the end of the day no matter how much people advise you.
Your resentment seems to come out of jealousy. Jealousy that she scammed you, that she got away with it and is doing better, seemingly. However, she sounds like a horrible person. That comes around at some point. You should be at peace with yourself by knowing you're a better person than her. You might not be rolling in dough today or tomorrow but at least whatever money you earn, it will be because you deserve it. People who do wrong tp others seem to be happy but thats not true. Trust me, it will come back to bite them in the *** when they least expect it. Dont worry about what they do or dont do with their rotten lives. Worry instead about how you can improve your life from here. Show the world that they can kick you down and rob you blind and you can still succeed. Show your kid what you're capable of and be a role model

It's good that you recognize that resentment and anger aren't healthy and that you want to get rid of it. Please check out the following link. Not everything in the article applies to your situation, but some of the suggestions are practical. I especially liked the definition of forgiveness, which doesn't mean approving or condoning her actions, and I like the thought that harboring resentment is like slapping yourself but expecting the other person to feel the pain.
Hope you can get past this and move forward with your life.
