They're the ones who have to deal with the consequences... not us.<BR/><BR/>Glennisha- It's always easier to see what needs to be done when it's not you having to deal with it. Absolutely. And I couldn't agree with you more when you say "You really have to be healthy mentally and in a good place with yourself to be able to leave those types of situations." AMEN GIRL! It took me so long to get out of mine because I just wasn't mentally or emotionally where I needed to be to understand that whatever "hurt" would result from walking away was worth not hurting like I was hurting.A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542810587986768786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15157689.post-61411771070028728802009-02-26T23:44:00.000-06:002009-02-26T23:44:00.000-06:00I The Writings On The Wall is a Classic.

You know what it's easy for others to say a person should leave or even for the person to say it but, it's easier said than done. I was in an abusive relationship before and like a fool I stayed. Actually did the break up to make up thing for a very long time.

Without knowing the hows, whos, whats and whens you're opinion holds no relevance. Basically that's all it is, a premature opinion.<BR/><BR/>As for cases of abuse in any and every aspect, the terms of whether or not one should forgive and or accept the abuser back in their life is pending entirely on the situation. Speaking from experience, I can admit that I'be been the victim of emotional abuse and despite the signs to avoid walking down that road again I took a chance. So far, the individual is sincere in their apologies and efforts to make their wrongs right. On the flip side, I've had other's who merely continued and magnified their abuse. There are so many factors to consider. I'm rambling lol<BR/><BR/>Excellent post, btw. Thoroughly enjoyed the read.Shantaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069788773056180214noreply@blogger.com
