Chaos in Relationships

by Jan Toomer

Chaos in relationships…how much before it becomes “Enough!”?

I’ve given this a lot of thought recently. I believe relationships are: what is between you and at least one other; the energy you invest – and it’s reciprocation – between self and:

• Spouse
• Loved One(s)
• Friend(s)
• Sibling(s)
• Parent(s)
• Grandparent(s)
• Pet(s)
• Boss
• Co-worker(s)
• Client(s)
• Etc.

When chaos enters a relationship, it creates disturbances in balance and harmony, and may include varying degrees in severity of physical and/or mental abuse.

My pet peeves are disrespect, deceit, and not claiming/taking responsibility for one’s own actions/deeds/words.

Chaotic, unstable, abusive, etc. relationships may be harmful to the physical and/or mental health of the individuals involved.

How much is enough?

If a relationship isn’t nurturing, supportive or a 2-way street, in my opinion, it time to say “Enough!” and to walk away.

If the relationship is abusive, seek help immediately! (Call your local police, emergency services or safehaven/shelter.)

The time is now to take responsibility for the energies you are allowing into your life.

Please do so safely and without violence.
