I'm A Thinker

And I not only think, I know, that to keep my own sanity, that I have to cut a few people out of my life. It isn't because I think I am better, because I know that I'm not, it's because I have helped them all that I can.
Today, when she asked me for something [i]after[/i] I already told her I would be put out of my home, it hit me: [b]she never cared, she used me because I have a kind heart.[/b] Honestly, I am a mixture of anger, hurt, and repulsed that someone who once called me "family," could be so conniving! I realize everything happens for a reason, but I can't forgive her actions any more.

This upsets me that someone used you without so much as one single thought as to what might happen to you.

I'm glad you cut her out of your life. You don't need or deserve such mistreatment.

No one does. The hell about it all isn't the money. It's the lies, and the sheer stupidity of it. Ughhh. Lesson learned.

@ZenLioness719: Yes it's the actions more than the money. I'm sorry that happened to you, and I'm proud of you for doing that.

@islandalone: I hate it. My Dad always warned me,"Paris, it's not your responsibility to save everybody. Only God can do that."

@ZenLioness719: I understand your distaste but this brings up one of my favorite expressions: even a surgeon has to cut in order to cure.
Sometimes you have to do something you don't like in order to help yourself. Believe me you deserve to feel better, and you certainly deserve a place to live!!!!

@islandalone: you're right. She deserves a place to live also, but she'd rather spend her money on her junk.

@ZenLioness719: You can't force someone to be responsible. You can only do what you can for as long as you can.
Another one of my favorite expressions: You can't take care of anyone if you don't take care of yourself.

@islandalone: truth. I am done with her, because I did everything I could. Now, it's my turn. :)
