Do you try to stay away from those who only cause trouble in your life?

NOPE! I invite them to LIVE in my house!! I know there's something wrong with my brain, trust me I know. LOL. Honestly, my husband and I just love to help people. No matter who they are or how they have been towards us we like to help people that need it. And in the end, we are left hurt and stressed every time. Maybe we will learn better one day, I doubt it though... I think my New Year's Resolution is going to be to STOP helping everyone. Nah...why make it if I know already I cannot keep it?!?

Yes it's advisable to stay away from those who cause problems to our normal life, they don't get any thing from doing this to us, they just wanted us to put in problem, so neglecting such kind of person will make us normal I agree with you.

Hi dominique I agree with your thought as i also try to keep a distance after identifying the person who is causing me problems / troubles .I am also in the same boat of trouble's in which you are travelling it is better to stay with such kind of people who are trying to cause troubles in addition to our troubles. Advance Happy New Year I hope your problems will be solved this year.

It would be smart for me to do so. Unfortunately if those individuals are family members that will make it all the harder.

I would have done the same. I already have enough on my hands to even take more coming from somebody else's troubles. I believe that we have to help ourselves first before we can even start helping others. And even the purest of intentions get taken the wrong way simply because someone got you in trouble even though it's not of your own doing. So sometimes, even if you want to help out a dear friend or family, you can't help it but stay away and let them handle their own thing. They get into this mess, they sure as heck will have to dig themselves out of it.

Yes, and I think you are doing the right thing. I don't go around my mom anymore because of too many things she's done to me in the past from stealing from me, lieing to me about my dad and driking alchol and driving with my girls with her. She seriously gets help and until she admits it and gets help I have no other choice but to stay away. Ever since my grandma has passed away that whole side of the family has just been weird, there was always problems prior to this mainly because of the secrets they tried to keep from me about my dad and when my grandma passed all the truth came out and since then I've not seen or talk to none of them and I wont till I get some honest answers and some apolozies. Sometimes we have to make that decision wheather their friends or family. It's rough but often times we know what the answer is and what we must do it's just taking that first step and doing it.
