I wondered how many of us try to get someone
to stop lying
to stop name calling
to stop accusing us
to stop disrespecting or
to stop betraying us.
That part alone stuck a cord for me. As I read on I seen so much that relates to a person I should sadly be close to.
Instead, I have put distance between us. I recognized what she was doing and only put up with it while I had to.
The person I am speaking of has not always, at least to my knowledge, been this way. I found my self trying to reason with her and quickly realize there was no reasoning with a person who chooses to be like that.
I'm just thankful that I realize I do not have to put up with it, not even from a family member I should be close to.
I am sorry you have someone in your life like this too. It's tough. It's good to hear from others who understand and I have been encouraged by some of the comments on here.
Making the decision to put distance between you and the bully is hard. No one likes to offend the offender.
