Everyone gets let down or screwed over. That is life. And it is easy to blame and get angry at the other party. Especially if they took advantage of you. But stop and ask yourself if you were part of the issue. Were there red flags? Did you have a gut feeling something wasn’t right? Did someone else tell you this was not a good situation and you disregarded their warning? We don’t like to admit it but usually yes, there was something that was off. And if this isn’t the first time something like this occurred to you, then it is time to examine yourself. Why were you in this position in the first place? What did you choose not to see? And most importantly, what will you do to change your behavior so you are not in this circumstance again?
