Don't Want to Stay and Can't Walk Away

Torn.

Have you ever stayed in a relationship that you knew wasn’t good for you? Or known a friend or family member who has?

Good, then you know what I am talking about.

What keeps someone in a relationship that we know hurts us? That isn’t healthy for either person?

Is it hope? The hope that things will change?

Is it familiarity and fear of change?

Is it not knowing how to change?

Is it a combination of hope that things will change, fear of change and not knowing how to change?

What keeps us in a relationship where there is more sorrow and sadness than connection and joy?

Is it that love is not logical?

Is that something better is not imaginable?

That we have forgotten who we are at our core?

Is it a combination of all these threads of tangled love energy?

Can we begin to listen to, understand and unknot this pain?

I believe with compassion, honesty and vulnerability we can do it and more. Together.

Love On.
