There was a time in my life I had so many toxic relationships, it was really sad. Through the last few years, I have been eliminating people from my life. Not that I've come full circle or anything, but I have a better understanding of what's going on. This picture really says it all.
I can honestly say now I have no more truly unhealthy, toxic relationships in my life. Yesterday the one last person that was toxic to me, I ended. Very few of the relationships did I ever close out with the person, rather I felt it was best to end with no explanation, which is what I needed. This person, however, I did share with her that I could no longer continue a friendship with her because she could not respect my boundaries repeatedly.
As I've been getting my soul wounds healed, it's made people who are not there seem so obvious. I know some people have eliminated me from their lives with no explanation and maybe it's similar. Maybe I was toxic to them.
I aim to get rid of all demonic commonality so that I do not attract toxic relationships, toxic situations. The freedom I now feel to heal is incredible. There is zero desire to go back. No longer do I feel conflicted or the pull. Honestly, I have wanted to get rid of that friendship for quite some time, but my husband encouraged me to show kindness and love because of all that I've been shown in my time of need.
The past nearly 3 years or so, I have done that and bit my tongue, but too many buttons were pushed far too often. I'm not God, though, Christ lives in me. Toxic relationships don't value healthy boundaries. And, I know I was a toxic person, too, before. But, ridding my life of demons has been the best thing ever.
Never be afraid to walk away from toxic relationships, because in the end, if you do not, they will destroy you.
