Should I cut them out of my life for good?

I'm a firm believer that if something is causing a constant nagging discomfort, worry, or hindrance of peace of mind in your life, you should go ahead and take care of it. Nip it in the bud and change what ever needs to be changed to reclaim your peace of mind.

With that being said I'm starting to think I should apply that logic to the people in my life too.

There are two people in my life that I love very much in different ways, but they are a constant source of grief, worry, stress, guilt, depression, low self esteem, and pressure in my life, and I'm about sick of it.

I'm going through a transition in my life, and I'm excited about it. I want to move into the next phase of my life with a clear, happy, peaceful mind, focused on claiming the lifestyle that I want for my self, guilt free with no shackles.

At the same time, I [i]would[/i] feel guilt for cutting them out. Because I know one will be confused, and the other will be hurt and feel like I abandoned them. But I have to know when to say enough is enough and step away to save myself. Peace of mind is everything, and its not my job to fix someone else's problems, no matter how I care. Especially if they're hurting me in return, or making me feel like I owe them something or there's something wrong with me.

I don't know what to do.
