So true, so true I've been there too, and by avoiding those who like to hurt us because they themselves are not happy or are insecure people is the only way to go. I've had to do so with some of members of my own family too, they just like to drag us with them so they can have company in their misery and in sin. But God gives us the strength to move forward and live at peace with him. May God help you too and give you the peace you deserve in your life and the strength to turn it all to God. Amen!
