Rightly said @ehiboss
Sometimes people are knowingly hurtful or neglectful, that we end up feeling disempowered, disrespected, and stuck.
You keep wanting them to care,
wanting to believe they valued you, that it only meant you were interpreting incorrectly if their actions seemed to suggest otherwise.
And most people stayed in a lot of unhealthy relationships while making excuses for people.
After finding myself in this situation more times than I’d like to count
these days, I am quite black-and-white with relationships. I either trusted you implicitly, assuming you’d never intentionally hurt me, or believed you want to cause me pain and question everything you do.
When in doubt, I step back and ask yourself, “What would I tell a friend if s/he were in my shoes?”
