Well, this is entirely my choice. I could easily keep spending my money and time trying to get blood from a stone, continuing to visit them while none of them ever bother to come down the other way; send emails while none are initiated by them; and even phone calls are a once a year thing (though not this year - they got the word I was "unwell" and so left me alone in my misery).
So I'm making the choice to say - This is NOT enough. I deserve better than this. And I rather doubt that they will notice my retreat.
It's all about choices. How I react to their actions, whether I decide to engage in their hurtful ways. I guess I finally got to the place where I had to - had to, mind you, say no more for me, thank you. Here is my boundary, and you may not cross it. I'm told it's a sign of strength.
