We all hear them, the live life to the fullest statements. Forgive and forget. Move past and move on. Get over past hurts by forgiving them and building a new relationship. So what do you do when you listen to all that and you go ahead and forgive them and save your friendship, or stay involved with your family when they've disappointed, and they do it again?! From what I've learned in my past, if you forgive them and build on something new, they will do it again!! Again and again and again. So what's to be done when history repeats itself? I see only two choices, ignore it and move on with the rest of your life, the rest of you relationship, cut out just that one part because we don't need to keep punishing ourselves by putting up with the nonsense, OR leave. Walk away. Realize that you allowed this to happen, you let history repeat, and it's more your fault then it is theirs, because you know what they are like. So what's next? Easy! Walk the crud away. Cut it out. Cut them out if you need to. If people aren't learning then stop hoping they will and make a stand for yourself. I"m done. I'm done with my life being planned by others. I'm done with people who are supposed to help me running me over and doing whatever. I'm sick and tired of all of it. So, I have no choice but to figure out the hard parts myself, and go on alone.
Life has thrown me many curve balls, and I've had to start completely over. A whole new life, and a new way to live it. I'm finally coming out of my cacoon and growing my wings!
