Thank you all so much for your kind comments. It is a complicated situation (aren’t they all) and its had a bit of a domino effect. Its like all of a sudden my eyes have been opened to what people have actually thought about me all these years. Its very difficult and painful but I know there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have walked away relatively recently. I need to move on, but I know its a process. Thanks all once again.
Thank you for your kind advice and guidance. As you rightly point out, it is other people’s reactions that can be a challenge to deal with. But if we know that our life is better for our decision, and it was one which needed to be made to remove toxic people from our life, then so be it.
What an excellent insight and post. You are absolutely spot on when you say that seeking approval from someone who will never approve is the same thing as seeking rejection. I am glad you have finally been able to move on.
