I Believe Forgiveness Is A Strength Not A Weakness

Draw The Line... I believe forgiveness is a strength, not a weakness. For that reason I keep on forgiving and forgiving and forgiving... but where do I draw the line? When is it time to stop forgiving and take action?

I have a friend whom is currently a constant source of concern. I have stood with her through thick and thin, because she means a lot to me. But it is getting harder to keep on forgiving. Should I cut my losses and move on? Am I a horrible person for wanting out?

Her friendship means the world to me, but at what cost? The mess she leaves in her wake is destroying me. Where do I draw the line? Should I even draw one? The cons of being her friend is starting to outweigh the pros and I have no idea how to proceed.

There is a big difference between forgiving someone and moving on from a toxic relationship (in this case friendship). No friendship should be how you have described it, and if it something you aren't happy with then don't be a part of it.

In saying that it sounds like you have already made up your mind about it, now it's time to take action and do something about it.

Does that not make me a cr*ppy friend?

You should never draw a line at forgiving. You may very well draw the line at putting yourself in harms way. No this does not make you a bad person. This is maturity telling you this person is Not good for me. I need to put distance here to change a spiraling downward trend.

I agree with Wandering it is something you have reached a point you realize it is time to do something.

Thank you. I have come to the same conclusion. I told her today that either she has to stop with her nonsense, or I am disappearing from her life.
