When Protecting Your Peace Means Going No Contact
The harsh realities behind the impossible choice of cutting ties and walking away from the people you love.
It seems dramatic to those who haven’t lived it. How could someone really make the impossible choice to walk away from family? From friends? From the people who have surrounded them their entire lives? How could you do anything else when someone you love is lying to you, harming you, stealing from you, and going out of their way to create chaos?
Emotional pain. That’s where all of these paths converge. Some are pushed to the edge by people who take so much that there is nothing left on the inside. Their lives, their bank accounts, and their relationships are drained and destroyed by people who always find a way to gain far more than they give.
In that place, what choice is left? When you’re facing someone who prefers to harm you the best thing you can do to protect your peace is to go no contact.
