sasha_featherI'm not great at knowing when to quit. I'm stubborn and loyal and I actively try to think the best of people. I try to work out problems or let things blow over. I try to let bygones be bygones, etc. But I've cut people off before when they've reached that line in the sand. This far, and no farther! I sometimes only know the line when I've found it.
With my high school friend Laura, I cut her off when I came out. She had a history of saying racist and homophobic things and I said no more. I wrote her an email and stopped talking to her.
Sadly with my jobs I put up with with too much, but that is a story for another day. Mainly I did not feel safe to just up and quit, which was what I should have done.
With a roommate who had already been stealing money, I finally confronted her, and actually yelled, when I found out she stole medication from me and tried to hide it. Like money is one thing but messing with medication is potentially deadly. I've yelled very few times in my adult life.
With a girlfriend, it was a nasty comment about the teenager she lived with, wishing harm or death or something. I just shut down and stopped investing in the relationship. I broke up with her via text message.
With my brother Nik, the final straw has been laid, the line in the sand is drawn. He lied to my best friendjesse_the_k. I've burned through the worst of my anger and now I'm just calm. I've decided that I'm done.

Date: 2025-12-21 04:39 pm (UTC)yeah, based on knowing you, I couldn’t imagine that he’d baldly lie. I thought your values were also your family values.
I’m so glad you’re feeling clarity, and so sorry that you’ve been treated so poorly and been in such pain.
I love you 💕😘❤️
