Thanks for your very helpful and personal post @kaylinart. I agree that sometimes you just have to cut a person out of your life. If they are harmful, abusive, and manipulative, you just can't keep them in a position that allows them to continue to cause damage to your life. Until they apologize and change their ways, it is impossible to have a real reconciliation with them. I try not to wish bad things on those who harm me, but I'm not going to let it continue to me or my family. You have to separate from the relationship. Thanks for helping us work through this.
