You may have reached a point with someone in your life where you no longer
want to tolerate the way they have treated you. You may be hurt by this
person's behavior, and it may have occurred consistently over a long period
of time. If this is a family member, the hurt may even be deeper, Moonchild.
Right now, you may need a break from this person, though others may give you
a hard time about it. Take that break anyway, and don't let anyone's
criticism hurt you further. This will end in a way that is positive for you.
