rid myself of ALL the toxic people in my life.

They are drawn to me and sap my energy, my creativity and my spirit. I need to learn how to weed out potential toxins before they poison me!

My neighbors came last Sunday night for a belated Christmas dinner, an evening of board games and enjoying a glass of wine or two.
All that day I prepared a full feast; roast turkey, chocolate kahlua cake-everything. And the evening started out well but their two sons-ages 11 and 7 went beserk-out of control and the worst part is THE PARENTS ALLOWED IT.
Jumping on my furniture, spitting, hitting, saying my food was “gross” and it made them feel like “Barfing”. They threw pillows and started a chocolate cake food fight (all in the blink of an eye) a total and blatant lack of respect for our home. At one time the oldest son threw a glass of tea at his little brother for saying something that the older brother didnt like and in turn hitting the grandfather clock left to me by my late grandmother.

I sincerely think this would be a toxic link I must cut or risk losing my sanity. WHY do people allow their children to run wild? Sadly, now I feel I can’t tolerate the adults anymore as well. Can’t believe its been a week and I am still harping on this.

I have cut myself free from the people who really sap me of all my “super powers” but am still bound to my sister by blood. A huge falling out at Christmas has left a gap in our relationship and the fight was something so petty and small. I have apologized twice—she never did, and sent a gift-which she accepted. She has called me ONE time since Christmas. Even while visiting home a couple weeks ago for 15 days I only saw her once. There was no denying the tension, but I thought we were OK after she accepted my apologies.

Worst part is, her son, my 12 year olod nephew treated me and my family so badly.

Sometimes there are people that come into your life and they make you feel small, no matter what it is you do. They are negative, boastful and always have to be “heard”. I put up with them and then in the end it always makes me feel drained—-so my solution is to gently ease out of relationships with them; distance myself. Stop being afriad of hurting their feelings because its apparent they hurt mine-so I need to rid myself of toxic people, esp ones that lay a guilt trip on me!
