For those Struggling Today.
the more chances you give someone, the less respect they will have for you. They'll begin to ignore the standards you have set, as they know another chance will be given. They are not afraid to lose you, because they know , no matter what, you will not walk away. They get comfortable with depending on your forgiveness. Never let a person get comfortable disrespecting you.[
The above quote was sent to me from a business associate, regarding a shady business deal that is transpiring in our little community.
But when I read it, the very first thing that came to mind was life with an active alcoholic.
I found myself traveling down memory lane for a minute, remembering all the lies, disrespect, and complete selfish nonsense.
For those of you currently struggling, take a few extra minutes today , just for yourself.
Maybe just for today, don't run into that burning building to "rescue" them.
Maybe choose not to answer that drunk text that makes zero sense.
Maybe, just for today, allow them their consequences.
Give yourself a break, and just for today, do not engage.
Be well my friends, and keep the focus on YOU.

This describes my situation perfectly. But there is always the boiling point, when even the most forgiving do not forgive anymore.
Thanks for posting this. I so needed it this morning. Just emailed the attorney and asked for another appointment this week. My emotions are all over the place, but I know I can do this: Never let a person comfortable disrespecting you.

"Never let a person get comfortable disrespecting you."
and may I never get comfortable again with such disrespect from someone who says they "love me"
healthy love is honor, dignity, cherish - no room for disrespect.
