Cutting ties 👔 Have you ever cut ties with someone and your life seems much calmer? I cut ties...

Yes I have. It wasn't pleasant but my sanity was worth it.

Mmhmm. It’s unfortunate that that feeling of relief comes, especially when they were once so close to you. But that weight being lifted just reveals that, while the decision was hard to make, it was the right one.

Yes. I cut ties with two friends who were just making me angry every time I talked with them. Once I did, I mucu happier and relaozed I didn't miss them at all.

Sometimes you have to let people go to grow.

Yes. It's a mixed bag. I still miss my dad, but he pretended to be deaf the whole time I was growing up, then he got a new wife, dumped my Mom and was suddenly fully cured of deafness, no explanation. No talk. Silence around the family. It's too much for me. No sister, no brother, no father! No way.

I’m actually at deep battle within myself to do that with someone.. there’s this micro glimmer of hope I keep clinging to based on her more and more rare signals…
But it’s paining me quite deeply…
I know when she eventually reaches and and says hey or good morning and acts as though nothing is wrong, when I am brief with my reply (because I honestly don’t know what to say) she acts offended making me out as the bad guy…
For the climate she’s constructed! I’m at a fkn loss.
It’s as if she wants me to keep on standby…

I just cut ties with someone on here who made an insulting post that I know was directed at me. Right now, I feel as though I will miss her but I know I'm better off not dealing with her. The funny thing is she already deleted the post after I called her out on it, but the damage is done
