Lately, I've been thinking if I am going to choose on holding or keeping our relationship instead of choosing what I need. I've decided to cut our communication for a while and I chose what is the must. Because choosing what Is the must is the way I can save him from misfortune that will happen if we continue our communication. How about you? Have you ever sacrifice a very important relationship to save the both of you?

I have been alone for 18 years and so I have surely saved someone a lot of pain.

@kepweng Without my family, maybe it is hard.

Sometimes we have to back away and get a clear view of things. Other times, both people feed off each other to make a negative relationship, one that modern psychologists call "co-dependent"--they depend on each other to feed their own fears, bad habits, insecurities or maybe to keep them in one place. I had to do this with my youngest son last year. It hurts every day not to be able to talk to him but I did everything I could for him and more. You see, if one person is not willing to try the other person cannot save the relationship. It takes two people that both care to maintain a relationship. If you don't have that, if you are the one doing all the work or suffering all the pain you have to back off and make some tough decisions.

@mnglsp My son will be 30 in a few days. He is a heroin addict and I realized that I am an enabler, making it easy for him to continue his habit. It is up to him now. He has lost everything, his wife and children, and still continues to be an addict.

@dragon54u That's sad. My mom once told me that they are being strict to me because they just don't want me to be on a wrong path.

Give and take is the key to a good relationship. May I know how old is he?

I didn't understand your case. Why do you have to do cut from him?

Because in what I chose, the relationship is a hindrance to doing it wholeheartedly.

I recently cut communication with my closest friend because I knew that our relationship will only bring us misfortune.
