When it's time to say adios.

I try to not let anyone drag me down. To stand strong. But I see many, many people who allow themselves to be abused.  Physically. Mentally. Emotionally.  I don’t fully understand it. Because I’d not want to be abused. I’d call an immediate halt to the abuse. Sadly, abuse happens. Often. Perpetrated on entire races of people. Blacks. Jews. But also on solitary individuals. On spouses. On friends. Of course, there’s such a thing as forgiveness.  Maybe once. Or twice.  But sometimes, forgiveness becomes a farce.  When repeated almost endlessly.  I’d tend to draw the line in the sand. Right from the start of the abuse. And once that line is crossed, it’s adios time. –Jim Broede
