Embracing Decisions
12 thoughts on “Embracing Decisions”
Turning away from someone, especially someone with whom you’ve had a long or deep connection can be most difficult. It also is many times very necessary. Whether or not you can convince those “others” of the poison they bring to people around them, if after careful thought you are convinced they are especially ruining your quality of life, it is best to sever relationships. Goes well beyond emotional relationships to include, I believe, those who are “users,” “takers,” whiners, narcissists, and “sunshine friends.” Grief for taking steps? Sure. But at least one can then start to repair damages done. Live with the poisons and be miserable forever, or suffer briefly and live life poison-free.
Letting go, even of people who harm us can be full of grief. We grieve for what we wanted and never had, for the end to possibilities, for the dream of something better that now will never be. But we still have to make healthy decisions for ourselves, even when it hurts. Hugs.
The decision to let someone go is often the right decision. But, I have found it isn’t always the right decision. I would think very carefully about that decision and never do it in haste.
So much this! It’s nice to read this out there in the world and not just think of it in my own mind.
We are not alone in these thoughts, decisions or feelings.
