Emotions are a natural occurring thing in the ebbs and flows of life. A best friend is getting married. We are excited for them and show our emotions freely to them. Your niece is going to have a baby. The baby is born and everyone within the niece's social circle is excited and full of joy for the niece and her husband. A nephew is going to join the military and has been accepted to West Point. Everyone within the nephew's social sphere of influence is beaming with pride and joy for the nephew and our country for getting such a fine young man. A friend is getting a much deserved promotion to Vice President at the corporate Headquarters. A celebration for his promotion is more than due and all of the attendees are beaming with pride that someone so deserving is finally getting their promotion.These are all examples of a very healthy exchange of emotion and love from an individual to another individual. There is a natural outflow of love that is received by the party in question.
Then there is the opposite end of the spectrum. Those of us who have our PTSD with all of the other accompanying mental health diagnosis can be ripe to being taken advantage of by those who would be so inclined to do so. You might ask, "How would you know anything about this." Let me give you the example of my son by DNA only. He moved in and out of my home a total of 4 times using the same MO. The MO was always the same. "Mom is treating the kids poorly." His mother, my first of two ex-wives, adopts children in my bumble opinion for one thing, the almighty dollar. But I will leave that final truth for the boss above. Believe me, he knows. There was some other whining about this and that, but to tell you the truth, to my benefit, I forgot all of the rest of his BS. His 24th birthday will be in a few days. He, of his own free will, took himself out of my life 2 and 1/2 years ago. I stated before on a previous thread, the 5th time he tried the move in move out thing, I nailed his sorry ass. Thus, he hasn't been around for 2 and 1/2 years because he knows he can;t use me any more.
Those in our sphere who would be so inclined to do so attempt to get us in an emotional state. Once a person has you in an emotional state, blind to pure logic, then they know you are ripe for the taking. Holding onto anger keeps us in a state where it doesn't take very much to draw us into an emotional frenzy. The old saying that emotional decisions are generally bad decisions is a very true statement. And you know it if you are being honest with yourself. You know who they are. They push your buttons and they get your goat every time. They are not stupid. They know exactly what they are doing. And they know when you are ripe for the picking.
You have all of the power. Do not let them do this to you. Emotional decisions are rarely good decisions. You know who they are. You know what they do. And you know everything about them and how they play their games. Take the power away from them. They do not give a damn about you. You are far better alone than you are having them in your life. You are a fortunate person whom this does not apply to. I am very happy for you that you do not know what the heck I am talking about. I believe that most of us here really do know exactly what I am talking about. If this thread does apply to you, it is high time you do a thoughtful, methodical assessment of relationships that may fit into this mold and act accordingly as you wish.
Why did I write this thread. Extremely simple and understandable. I hate.....hate......hate....seeing good people getting taken advantage of. Pure and simple!!!!....Blessings to all!!!!
