I might tell myself that you ignore my needs because Im too needy. Or you belittle me because Ive made mistakes in the past. In other words, I might justify your mistreatment because you try to make me feel like I am the “wrong one” or the “crazy one.” When someone truly cares, they don’t use your mistakes or imperfections to justify neglect or emotional blackmail. There came a point when I realized that if people who truly respected me, would encourage me to grow; but they wouldn’t let my weaknesses become an excuse to intimidate or disparage me. No matter what you’ve done or how you sometimes struggle, you deserve to be in healthy relationships with people who treat you well. In retrospect, I realize I lied to myself repeatedly because I felt unworthy. I do not have great self-esteem than I did before, and I still find myself feeling confused and conflicted in a relationship. The question now becomes: Can I treat myself kindly and walk away from what I know isn’t right?
