I recognize this woman. I've seen her in the mirror.

There was a time in my life that drama and chaos were all I knew. The environment I grew up in left me in a state of always looking for that drama. You can be addicted to drama, you know. It was what I knew as normal.

Fast forward fifteen years.....after many counseling sessions, cutting the cord that bound me with dysfunctional people, a relationship with Jesus and now I look back and don't even recognize that woman.

My point is this. Only you can change. You can't change the other person. But, when you do change it forces others around you to either change themselves or leave. And, even though we can't change others, we can certainly change the way we respond to them.

My heart goes out to you Coty. The most important thing you could do for yourself right now is to examine your life, ask yourself if this is the way you really want to live, and according to the answers you give yourself, take action.

Nothing ever changes if nothing ever changes.

On more cliche' if I may.....the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting a different result. It sounds as if you live in an insane situation.

Do take care.
