Just A Thought (Excuses Plus Decisions Equal Consequences):

He ‪#‎cheated‬; you stayed. He lied; you stayed. He fathered a child; you stayed. He ‪#‎hit‬ you; you stayed. He ‪#‎stole‬ from you; you stayed. He‪#‎belittled‬ you; you stayed. He ‪#‎left‬ you, for the sixth time now; you let him come back. He picks ‪#‎fights‬ with you, hoping you'll put him out (which gives him a pass to ‪#‎embarrass‬ you with a clear ‪#‎conscious‬), so you try to‪#‎suppress‬ your ‪#‎reactions‬ for the next time, which gives him the 'okay' to‪#‎manipulate‬ you from now on. What about the ‪#‎games‬ and the ‪#‎emotional‬‪#‎abuse‬ are okay to you? Alright with you? Normal to you? When do you take the reins and acknowledge that you ‪#‎deserve‬ ‪#‎better‬? ‪#‎Stable‬?‪#‎Kind‬? ‪#‎ChildBoo‬!!! Recognize the games, or keep losing. ‪#‎YourChoice‬. Stop ‪#‎diminishing‬ your ‪#‎value‬ in pursuit of his ‪#‎validation‬. Stop hoping his‪#‎lies‬ away. Stop trying to ‪#‎pray‬ his ‪#‎disrespect‬ away. How about letting him go away? ‪#‎LetHimGo‬!!!.
