It’s a bit of a long story but the other day a family member more or less screwed the relationship with everyone in the immediate family and as a result this person has been shunned by everyone (including myself.)

While I understand that this person has to go through a major redemption arc, I don’t think it’s possible for this person so I decided that the best course of action is to completely cut this person out from my life. On one hand, I think it’s a bit heartless but on another hand, I think showing any kind of sympathy will only encourage the behavior that started the downward spiral to begin with.

I’m hoping my decision is the right one, and even if it’s not, it’s something I’ll learn to live with.
