“Rebuilding trust when it’s been broken is not dependent only on the person who has broken it, or how many times they can prove they are honest. It depends on the person who has decided not to trust anymore. Though they may be totally justified in their decision not to trust, as long as they choose not to, the relationship has no hope of survival and should be ended. If or when they decide to trust again, there is hope reborn. ” Doe Zantamata
“Be patient but persistent in building or rebuilding your self-worth. The path to self-worth can only be reached when you love and accept yourself. Not only “when you’re perfect,” but right now, today, exactly as you are. Accepting yourself will not mean you will lose the drive to become better. It is the opposite. You have to believe in someone to believe they can become more than who they appear to be today. Otherwise, it would seem like a waste of effort.” Doe Zantamata
“Becoming used to or numb to repeated emotional pain doesn’t relieve it. It just makes you believe that life was meant to be barely tolerable. That’s no way to live. Always believe life is a beautiful gift. If your surroundings don’t support that, don’t tolerate them for one second more than you absolutely have to. “Doe Zantamata

“Loving and supporting someone is not the same as loving and supporting someone’s actions if they are harming themselves or others. The first, encourages, the second, enables. It takes courage to say, “I love you, but I can’t support what you’re doing.” But that will give them incentive to change much more than hoping they’ll change ever will. Easier said than done, but better done than only wished for. ” Doe Zantamata
