That's What She Said!

If you're a friend to someone in a toxic relationship what do you do if they are constantly crying to you about how unhappy they are? What do you do when they continue to be with the very same person that makes them unhappy? 

We're young and this is a struggle that many of us may face. We see our friends in relationships, situation-ships, etc and they are unhappy. We become emotionally invested in their relations/relationship out of our love and respect for them. These are your friends or family members constantly being hurt. No one likes to see the people they love hurting and you're wondering what should I do? How do I handle it? What is my role?

There's no right or wrong answer but in my opinion you should ALWAYS just be there and LISTEN. Do not listen to judge or reply but listen to understand and comfort. When someone is in love they may not see things for what they really are at the moment or they choose to ignore what they know. Love can cloud your vision allowing you to think with your heart and not your brain. Out of love they may forgive and accept certain things easier than you. We may not understand WHY they put up with the things that they do but honestly it’s not our place to completely understand the WHY but more so to comfort and be there for them.

I don't care how many times my friends say they are done. I will be there through every up, down, heartbreak, let down, and more. When you love and truly believe you have something & someone good you allow the good to outweigh the bad. Even if all love and hope seems lost if you still believe it's something there worth fighting for you are going to fight for the one you love. Even if it means continuously putting up with "the bad". With us being so young it’s crucial to let people learn for theirselves. It’s important just love and support from a distance 💛.
