What do you do when you are attacked? [View all]

I've walked away from so many negative people and places and jobs that I have felt like there was no place positive to walk toward.

I keep repeating part of stuart Wilde's warrior's prayer: In conflict, I walk away. In detachment, I am free.

Sure is hard to detach. Think i will have to stop talking to some stepkids for about a year.
