I can't do this anymore. I am going to get some things off of my chest then I will feel a little better. I don't even know where to start. Have you ever just felt so overwhelmed by something or someone that you let it affect you? I don't know why our minds let this happen to us but I am sick of it. I just get to feeling awesome and then something happens to take it all away. Well I am saying no more! I am not letting anything or anyone knock me down anymore. I know who I am and what I stand for and believe in. I am taking control back of my life and saying enough is enough. Don't let things interfere with you as a person or your families because honestly life is too short. I have had enough things in my life happen to knock me down and to get me down but I have grown from them and am thankful for every single bit of it. I will no longer stand by and let things affect me as a person anymore. I have people in my life that I can depend on and I am truly thankful for them. You all know who you are. I am tired of people or things that can get me down and the lies that can result from them and I have to just step back and let them roll off of my back and let them all go. I know I sound bitter but sometimes we are entitled. I also understand that we are told to forgive but it isn't easy to forgive when those that have wronged you are not allowing you to forget. The forgiveness process can be done but when responsibility isn't being taken then how? I go back to the quote on my blog, “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I know that I am not perfect and don't claim to be, but I am true to myself and to those that I love. Thanks for letting me vent.
and they haven't asked for the forgiveness. As Stacey said real forgiveness can only be achieved when the other person truly feels sorry and wants to be forgiven.
Please know we love ya! Hang in there!

P.S. If you need me- I got your back ;)
p.s. I think I can guess what upset you but I may be wrong.
I agree with much of what has been said above. You are right about taking back your life. Remember what Jesus said, "If thy right hand offend thee cut it off..." meaning that if someone or something is hurting you or your family you need to remove that person or thing from your life. Tell it like it is and be done with it.Sometimes people need to be rudely awakened to realize how wrong they have been! Love to you!
