I was deeply affected by your comment about letting go of toxic people…I too had to make this sad decision and some were family members. It’s like you go through your life surrounded by people, some are family and others are friends and acquaintances. I have always been very analytical with everything and everyone but I internalize my feelings…after having cancer twice in the past 3 years I became more aware of how they were affecting me and my struggles to carry on, lots of negative comments that scared me or comparing their ailments to mine like it was a competition. I understand that we’re all going through a lot with life these days and everyone is stressed out but I don’t need to pulled into non productive arguments, I can use some mental support for my depression but no one has the interest because they have their own issues. I would rather have one loyal friend than a lot of fair weather family and friends.
