Your spouse is your family. You never sacrifice your spouse for anyone, not your mother, father, sister, brother, friend. etc. ~ Toad Slipdragon
Never sacrifice family doesn’t apply for abusive families and/or members which would require you to sacrifice your dignity. Walking away from them because you value your your dignity and self respect more than you value being used and/or treated like crap, otherwise they would still be an active part of your life. The reason so many either stay in situations like that is because 1) They do not value their own self-worth enough to get out. 2) They do believe in blood family and struggle with guilty feelings because of that. It isn’t easy to walk away from. 3) They do not understand that walking away doesn’t mean you don’t love them as human beings or wish the best for them, it means you love yourself enough not to allow someone else to bring you down. You protect your heart, your dignity, your health and even your sanity by doing so. ~ Danyelle Jumonville
