Well, it depends on who it is. I tend to give old friends and family members a break since we are supposed to have a history together, and that is not always a pleasant one. The road in life for all of us is paved with mistakes and misunderstandings.
That said, I refuse to just hang on to someone that is going down the wrong path, has kept it up for a long time and looks to be heading that way for good. I am not responsible for other people's choices beyond raising my child to an adult; which she has been now for a number of decades. We have had many trials and tribulations, but she is a very good person and I'm proud of her always.
My brother is lost to me. I will never get him back and I would never allow him in my life again. So, it is not about revenge or grudges, it is about change. If someone is incapable of change and will just drag me down with them? I've learned my lesson that way. You can't help anyone unless they are aware and open to be helped. Otherwise, head for the hills, because they will just drag you down with them.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply Shar. Relationships can be easy peasy and they can also be very difficult and eventually essentially not worth the hassle. Happy Saturday! :)
