[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 676944, member: 11791"] It is not my "job" to hold them responsible. Depending on your beliefs, the Creator or Karma or Life will hold them responsible. I can let go of that part. The nature of the mental barrier, to me, is simply this: I will protect myself and my own from harm. Therefore, distance as necessary, including "no contact" if that is the only distance that works. Anger, I can let go of. They have a right to be angry also. Life wasn't fair. [I]But I am not required to be at the receiving end of their anger, just as I have no right to direct my anger at them.[/I] I don't remember where I heard this quote, but someone said once "It's not worth being angry unless it will make a difference." And for FOO? It's not going to change a single thing. [/QUOTE]
