When people show you who they are, believe them

Just a quick thought for today... people are showing us who they are all the damn time, but we tend to make excuses for them, or look past behaviour we might otherwise find unacceptable. 

In the past, especially with ex BFs, I used to turn the other cheek so often and so fast that Linda Blair would be envious. 

But now I know, I only had myself to blame. I can't fault them, they did show me who they were but I was in denial.

Don’t make excuses! When a friend or partner or family member repeatedly treats you badly, they are telling you something about themselves. Believe them.
