I've recently stopped trying to help somebody who I thought was crying out for help. This person has made it obvious that they are beyond help. So I told her that I am letting her go because I refuse to let her pollute my spirit and harm my children spiritually. She refuses to let go. It's like she's in love with me or something. Sick. Anyway, I've let go. I am ignoring her now, and no matter what, I know that this experience has been a test from God and I passed. I did not give in to the temptation to say what others thought I should be saying. I did not lose who I am in the whole thing. I did not let this person control me or have power over me. I think that stopped when I just turned my back. I do not doubt that, judging it from a psychological point of view, that this person will continue down their destructive path. I do know that I did what I could to help them and that it's in God's hands now. Have you ever just felt so at peace after letting go? Loved by friends?

I have the love of my man, the love of my children, the love of my family. i have the love of my dear sweet friends on 360 and they know who they are. You can make yourselves known, dear ones, it's ok. They know who I am, they know I am an honest person, they know my heart. That's all that matters. No human has power over another unless you give it to them. I've never been one to do that, and would never start now. I swear, since refusing to get pulled in, I feel so warm. As if God is giving me a sign of "Well done, my faithful one. You passed the test".

To VQ, I did all I could to help the poor soul. No amount of help can do anything. It's a lost cause. People like that are better left to self destruct. I don't know how to put it in nicer terms. I feel a great deal of pity for the person. I pray that God or whatever higher power ligthens their burden and helps move them past whatever has happened to them, but I am not risking my twins lives that I am pregnant with for a stranger. I choose my children above anyone, even God Himself.

Yeah. If a person becomes too dependent on you, you have got to give them their time to stand on their own two feet. I know what you mean by the peace. As if a heavy burden was laid off you. But remember God wants us helping so many people who WANT to be helped so keep it up! And if that person is a threat to your family keep her away from them. Remember God always promises rest to the weary and you've found yours I see.:D

Of course. I don't think this a religious thing though. It's more of a peace of mind/well being issue. Some people are just toxic in general. If they wanted to change, they would. It's easier to cut them out of your life than put up with the drama.

Yes I have, but never felt the need to post the experience in full detail on a forum where questions are supposed to be asked and answers sought.

If you are so much at ease, what is the problem.
