YOU SHOULD BE FURIOUS You should be furious that your kindness was taken for weakness, your boundaries were disrespected, you've been pouring from an empty glass into the ones of those who proved to never be in your corner. You should be furious that this has been allowed to go on for far too long. Feeling anger proves you know that you deserve better. You don't need to let it eat you alive. You shouldn't blame yourself or regret the grace you showed. You don't need to ruminate on the moments you could have nipped it in the bud. But you should make an oath to see the signs as they show up, and protect yourself better from now on.
