sad

I'm realizing that I can't allow people to treat me in an unacceptable way, no matter what they are going through, no matter what their reasons. That is not compassion, that is allowing people to walk on me and enabling their irrational and fucked up beliefs. I can't do it, even if it costs me important relationships.

I've decided that holding on to relationships (outside of my immediate family) isn't as important as being true to what I know is right. That includes not allowing people to use their pain as a weapon against me. That includes calling people on it when they are behaving unacceptably towards me, instead of making excuses for them because I feel for them.

It feels cold, but it also feels necessary.

Yes I have and I have lost people over my "ground" wink

I remind myself that their issues are THEIR issues and no matter how they try to word it or turn their issue around on me, that MY choice is mine and is right and good for me! If they do not want to support my choice then I wish them well anyway and walk on

It is never my intention to hurt another though I know that sometimes my choices or actions may nod we all have been or will be on both sides of that fence

When I know I am doing the right thing for me then I can move forward and not feel as much need to listen to ( take on ) the guilt. It can actually fule my path when people do try to toss that at me

rose


sigh

People are continuing to throw guilt trips at me, and I am trying to be gentle and not hurtful. The person I am dealing with lost her mother three months ago, who was also extremely dear to me. She, and her husband, are trying to throw that in my face when it has nothing to do with the situation at hand.

sigh



ahhh damn - projected pain mixed with their issues about your kids ...

Also may be why they are not thinking acting right - grief causes people to act outta wack

hug

I'm reading Mach's post over and over again to help me remember to not get sucked in by other people's issues. It's so hard when I truly care about them. It hurts that they feel I'm being an insensitive asshole for daring to defend my children.


rose hug YOU are being just the oppisit of what they think -

YOU are being sensitive - you are putting children before adults even under pressure - not much more you can do to truely be sensitive hun hug

This in no way seems "cold" to me - THIS seems healthy and balanced

wow, i TOTALLY know how you feel!!!! i couldnt have said it better myself hug it hurts me to do what i did because i am usually the peacemaker in my family and i tend to take the crap so other people dont have to be hurt, but there comes a time when you realize that your feelings are JUST AS IMPORTANT as someone elses and to not stand up for yourself when someone hurts you with their actions is a horrible thing to do to YOU.

for me it feels strange because i have never done it, but at the same time it felt great! and in the end i am very happy for what i did and plan to continue to stand up for myself. hopefully it will be better for both of us, we are good people who dont deserve to be hurt heart

Yeah, but now that I've calmed down, I'm realizing that tossing away relationships that are really important to me isn't something I want to do. She really doesn't hurt me on purpose. It was more her husband who was attacking me and using his wife's pain against me, and I really don't have a relationship with his ass in the first place. lol

well, i hope things go well for you hug

for me, i've calmed down, and i can still see that the relationship was best left alone... im still happy i did what i did, not sure i could live with myself the way things were.

either way, i hope in the future you (and i) can remember that standing up for yourself and your feelings is a perfectly healthy thing to do and you are important, so is your heart - dont let others walk all over it!! rose
