Say No!

            Each family has that one relative who seems to never grow up. They are the ones who feel as if the world owes them.  You’ve tried to help them to get on their feet to become responsible, but nothing you have tried ever works. Your desire is not to see them suffer, but what you really don’t want to do is to mess up everything you have worked hard for. What I’m about to say can be hard for some, but very easy for others – learn to say NO!  If you continue to help this person they will never stand on their own feet. They may think that their entire family has abandoned them, but sometimes tough love is the best love. Tough love is like a strong kick in the butt. It’s very similar to kicking a bad habit or drug addiction. You began to realize what you have done to yourself and then you have to decide where you want to go from here. Continuing to help someone who is capable of taking care of themselves only makes you a crutch and them a user, so decide today that if you want a peace of mind and less stress in your life learn to say NO
