When they take it all.....

..... you've got nothing to lose.
EVERYBODY HAS A BREAKING POINT...

But how does one realize they've reached that breaking point and its not just another excuse for an outburst ?

Is it a pattern for releasing another limitless rampage onto what triggered us. ?

Do we express un uncontrollable tantrum with an attitude that exceeds high levels of frustration which is directed to a target with extreme violence because we've had enough of being passive , holding back so much from deep within ourselves?

Is that the breaking point for most of us?
Is it possible to have a more calming point in which breaks us without a mental explosion?

Speaking for myself, If I have given several chances but they refuse to change, my breaking point is when I realize they threaten my happiness and peace of mind. No relationship is worth destroying your physical as well as mental health, it's vital to survive the rest of your life. I don't react with violence because that's sinking to their level. Violence makes you blind, acting out in a manner that is irrational and could escalate to the point of killing someone/ breaking the law. So I cross the bridge and burn it behind me. No explanations nor goodbyes, I just cut ties and a no-contact rule. We must decide whether we want to remain a victim or be the victor. I choose the latter.

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE thanks for these feelings that make more sense than what i was about to do. Its hard for me to keep it together when i have nothing left.

@SledgeHammer You're welcome,SledgeHammer. Allow me to add one more thing? Whatever is happening in your life, however bad the situation is, NEVERthink that you have nothing left, be it materially or within you. Thousands of people have lost family members and everything they possess because they are being bombed 24 hours a day, they run away with what they have, just the clothes they have on their backs and their surviving family, if any. These people with pain and anger in their hearts will die if they have no hope of surviving such a horrendous nightmare. At the most darkest hour, you will be surprised how the human mind is far stronger than we think it is. You have it in you to rise above this. Climb this mountain though it is painful and arduous, but upon reaching the peak, you will see there is so much more to live for. More importantly, you will realize you alone, your hope and your strength achieved this, and no one can take that away from you, ever.

@NativePortlander1970 I have read your comment, NativePortlander. We agree on the no-contact rule. It's the best way, really, to remove one's self from a situation and never allow the other person to communicate with you because insincere apologies and lies will be used and if you know that person is the kind that is unwilling to change, talking with them is just prolonging the agony. Moving on is the only recourse, for the burden of saving them is their responsibility, as it is ours to save ourselves. I believe karma exists...good and bad, in the end, we have coming to us what we put out in this life.
