Sometimes it take years as “hope burns eternal” especially if it’s family. Just don’t let them have your joy and love of life. A really good sense of humor helps a lot. ~ Mary Plante
I understand about the family part. It is hard when you have that “toxic” relationship with a parent. ~ Nichole Tilc
No one can dull your shine, poison your spirit or bring you drama unless you ALLOW all that to affect you. The people who are “labeled” as doing so are either immature and need guidance or mature and need a lot of guidance and understanding. Brotherly love and patience are needed. Be strong! ~ Melanie Forchelli
I did, and boy I sure love my life now. No more drama, no more stress and most of all no more negative disrespectful people. God is great, I pray for them and I have forgiven them; but I do not want them in my life any more. I have God my husband, good friends and the family member that are worth keeping around. I am so bless, and I thank God every day. ~ Lilian Davis
