This is a very misleading statement we have passed down through the years. “When life gives you lemons just add sugar and make lemonade”. Well beneath that sweet illusion of concoctions there will still be the presence of those sour lemons. Pretending doesn’t take away the predicament; it only gives it time to grow into a larger one. Stop pretending. It’s time to get rid of the lemons. How many of you stay in relationships that are not beneficial for you emotionally? You learn to build defense mechanisms or should I say numbing remedies. Therefore instead of getting out; you find yourself staying in them only to get hurt more. These relationships must end. You must find help, counseling, or a support group that can help you get out of your situation. Don’t make the mistake of trying to find a small reason to magnify and make larger than the fact that he physically or verbally beats you down. You can do better. There is always an alternative. Set your standards higher. If you accept less; that’s what you’ll receive. Remember - you too can reinvent!
