....to walk away from a relationship with someone who has m/h issues? I'm not proud of it, but, I've now chosen to shut out a family member, because I no longer feel able to go forward with them, in a positive way, I've given up all hope that this'll ever happen. We have both kicked the other, tripped them up, shut them off, etc, in the past. Both of us have treated the other horribly badly, over time. I got to a point, that, I think it's best (on all fronts) to go our separate ways. I guess, I'm asking, if/when you believe as though, you've tried everything, and you feel you'd all be best off, not interacting, is it acceptable to just give up on a person?

Sorry for ranting, I've been told I can't just cut off from people, but I disagree.
