Reading your post I saw myself in the picture, infact you were directly talking to my. It's heart breaking seeing people you go out of your way to help turn you down, or show less care when you most needed it, even when you know they have the capacity to do it.
Prioritizing your peace, love and happiness is the key...treat yourself the way you'd like to be treated or life will teach you the hard way.
Thanks immensely for sharing your experience.
