I was in a toxic relationship and was forced into extricating myself from it and everyone else associated with that relationship. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I was forced to deal with my own emotional problems. It was very hard as I wound up actually being totally alone. Abandoned by so called " friends and family ".
Anyhow , I wound up getting very lonely and maintained a contact that I shouldn't have.
Because of my loneliness and desire to get my " family back " I pretty much put on hiatus my personal growth program and begged them to take me back.
"Be careful what you pray for ". It happened , and now I'm back in the same toxic situation that I left. I went " all in " on this one and if it doesn't work out , well......
Everybody is still the same. Despite all the expectations, my significant other is still the same person I left.
Because of my physical situation I can't get " out there " in the world or feel useful.
I'll end there for now by saying once you get toxicity out , don't put it back in.
