Professionally, personally or relationally.<br><br>You have a right to choose yourself, to choose happiness and to choose to engage or disengage (as it were) anger and bitterness.<br>Are there times to engage it and fight against it? Sure. But there are also (and I think more often) times to walk away, disengage from poisenous people and engage with those that build you up not tear you down.<br><br>Finally, don't ever EVER mistake the way poisoneous bitter people treat you, what they say about you, and how they act to replace in your head and heart the way that a BIG GOD with a BIG HEART and an ENDLESS SUPPLY of love loves you. Because you are not a failure to him.ellenjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05662940255380539267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384980373537159783.post-75039323172691836372009-11-30T07:40:29.225-05:002009-11-30T07:40:29.225-05:00^^^^^What she said!I'm in the same boat with C...^^^^^<br>What she said!<br><br>I'm in the same boat with Christmas this year. I refuse to step foot in the home of people who treat me the way my Uncle treats me. I'd love to see my family, but not at that price.<br><br>I think if you and I were the type of people to tell everyone the REAL reason we don't see them when they're at these functions with the "bad" family member, they would support our decisions 100%.jakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09161291046776693853noreply@blogger.com
