I’m angry!

I’m so angry! You can love someone to death and they can take your heart and trample it under their uncaring feet. It’s one of the greatest cosmic jokes that when someone is heading down a destructive path, that the people who love them, are the only ones who can see it. The person on that destructive path doesn’t see it, and all their “friends” are right their with them walking down the same path. You can tell the person that they are on the destructive path, but they don’t listen. They claim that you don’t know what you’re talking about, they claim that they are doing nothing wrong. They are suffering from denial. And personal blindness.

I told someone very dear to me that they need to fess up to an authority figure about their actions out of respect for said authority figure. I got a very bad response. Rebellion was all that came out of this encounter.

This person broke my trust! I can’t trust them anymore, they ruined it. I would like to fix our relationship but I can’t just turn my head and ignore that they are living in a destructive pattern.

Why do people ignore advice from people who love them and are looking out for their best interests? But are more then willing to believe people who don’t care a flying fig about them? Is it so hard to look at yourself and say ‘hey maybe They(the people who love me) know something I don’t, maybe They(the people who love me) have some experience that I don’t.’ but they don’t think like that. They think that they are right, and all the people who love and support them are wrong.

I’m angry, and I’m hurt. I want the relationship we had back, but it can’t be the same without trust. I find that I can’t trust them anymore. They have abandoned the values that they were taught from childhood.

Whenever a person plays fast and loose with anything, including their life, things get broken. Hearts, lives, homes, people, children, families. Destruction will follow them no matter where they go as long as they keep on this path.
