Sorry, but the world really does revolve around YOU.

Well, correction: YOUR world revolves around you. Your actions, your beliefs, your fears, your strengths, your weaknesses, and your thoughts.

Once you are of a certain age (idk... lets say 15+) you have the ability to meet all of your needs. You can speak the language, barter with others, learn new traits on your own, create an income stream.... and leave the unhealthy people.

So if you are upset with your life- take accountability. What can YOU change to make yourself happy?

I firmly believe you only get 1 shot at life- why stay miserable?

Create your life.

Personal Accountablity

You can blame the person abusing you. Tell yourself that they don't care about you, that if they just changed then you'd be happy. You can't change them. You can only change yourself.

Push through the fears, leave the abuse, and come into a new age of Self Respect.

Family

Mom. Dad. Sister. Brother. Aunt. Uncle. Grandma. Grandpa. Cousin. Family is just a word. Blood or not, they are still just people. Try this exercise: Replace the title with their name.

There is no excuse for abuse. Too many beautiful people that I have known stay in unhealthy situations for years simply because of a title. They get disrespected and hurt. I patiently sit on the sidelines and watch them go on the emotional roller coaster. Eventually they start becoming more independent. They take time away from the abuse then are shocked at how intense the abuse is when they get back. You are not a 'bad' person for no longer associating with unhealthy people. Try this exercise with everyone in your life. Those that respect you, support you, and embrace you- give a genuine Thank You to. Those that don't-...

Prevention

The more I come to know of life, the more I see that most heartaches and stressful situations can be prevented. It doesn't need to come down to some huge trauma or emotional explosion. If you don't want to be in a negative environment then surround yourself only with people who meet your needs (not addictions as describe earlier) in a healthy manner. Plan ahead, save money to be invested, and understand human behavior. Being a mother of a young child I totally understand how confusing it can be. Is he crying because he's hungry? Tired? Teeth coming in? Bored? Over stimulated? We were walking by an apartment last week where a young child was crying. Over that I heard a woman shouting angrily "What the ***k are you crying for?" I felt sorry for the child. They are being raised in an environment that is abusive. They will grow up to believe that their needs are too demanding upon others and therefore will never be met. I also felt sorry for the woman. The woman seems...
