A little bit less of me!

Biology is the least of what makes a family...

I have learned this more than once in my life... but it continues to always hold true with one person.
One person that I am relieved to be "done" with...
One person whom I feel very sorry for...
One person who tries continually hurt those I love...
One person who will have many regrets in life...
For this I know...
My hope is that the hurt that is inflicted ends and heals...
My hope is that others will find the peace I have in being done...
Done
Done
Done
No more time or energy wasted...
goodbye...
weight lifted...
Only good stuff here...
With really good people.

~That I love, love, love...

Are you related to Michael's sister-in-law? ;)

Family relationships can be so hard. Sometimes it's best to let someone go. Hopefully life will refine them and they can come to a place where they are ready to take responsibility for the hurt they've caused others. Only then can healing begin.

In the meantime, hopefully your life and the lives of your loved ones will be simpler and easier.

I'm so sorry it's come to this. But you're right to not feel obligated just because of a biological link. Sometimes it's better to walk away than to constantly be hurt. :(

Sorry to hear it sister... We should talk. Call me - I'm home all day long now... we can commiserate about our family members.

You can't pick your family! Who knows what makes people tick? Life is tooooo short to spend time with those who are not worth our time!

Words I should really think more about with a few people I know. Sorry you're hurting but glad you're done! LOVE to you!!!
