Steps on soap box....this is ridiculously long...Feeling a bit passionate about this subject! My main priorities include protecting my family at all costs! My husband & I agree, we will not tolerate or allow, anyone including family, in our lives, that we feel may jeopardize our childrens safety or innocence. Recently, an old friend crossed the line by sending inappropriate explicit photos to me on my fb acct & did it again last night. Thankfully, my girls were not looking over my shoulder when I checked my messages. This person made a good decision in un-friending me. Un-friending family or friends, & ceasing relationships with a person is necessary when they become a threat to that which we protect! It makes me sad, as I value human beings & understand people suffer from mental illness, addiction & poor choices! Ive spent a good deal of my life being a people pleaser & trying to make everyone feel ok. I have spent years not saying anything, when situations get uncomfortable in efforts to make the situation more comfortable for everyone. As I get older, I have little to no tolerance! Ive learned that some people cannot be helped & many do not want help. Ive learned to release the feeling of personal obligation to salvage relationships & friendships that do not serve me well. Finally, Ive stopped trying to communicate or give attention to those that do not value my time or friendship. Ive learned that life is too wonderful & that there are great people in my life that Id rather focus on loving & spending my time. Wasting time chasing down anyone for relationships/friendships or feeding into the narcissistic behaviors of others, isnt a good use of time! There is freedom in truth!
