Yes, Sue, I agree with you. Relationships can be fragile and our hearts are susceptible to much pain.
My greatest tool for guidance is God's Word, his love letter to us. One nugget of wisdom: "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone." What makes this do-able is the part about "as far as it depends on you". So we can be at peace with ourselves if we have done what we could ("what is possible"). The rest is up to others. Peace and blessings, Barb
