Family can sometimes be your worse enemies!

Well its been a pretty good while since I last wrote. I honestly don't have much of an excuse besides being lazy lol. I've been feeling kinda down and out lately due to some family issues that have recently been going on. I've always heard the quote "family can sometimes be your biggest enemy", and I used to think that wasn't even possible. Family is supposed to be that support system that you can always count on right? Well after getting a little older and looking back at certain situations I've been in with certain family members, along with things that were done and said recently, have pretty much given me the idea that family can sometimes bring you down quicker than anyone else. I went on facebook a couple of nights ago, and asked "Why is it that family is sometimes your biggest enemies?" One comment I received was "they are the ones closer to you, so they know you best". The more that a person knows about you, the more of a threat they become to you. That doesn't only apply to family, but friends as well. When a person knows your strengths and weaknesses, they can exploit those against you. Now is this the right way to be? Absolutely not! We let people into our lives, and let them know things about us because we trust them and believe in them. We never expect them to use it against us later on down the road. I guess the point that I'm trying to make with this is that be careful of what you tell family members. Also be cautious that just because you share blood with someone, you won't always share ideas and beliefs with them. At the end of the day people are going to look out for themselves, and if that means bringing you down, or even stepping on you they will. This is not a negative topic, its a realistic topic. Well I'm about to end this so I hope everyone has a great night, and hopefully I will start feeling better soon. Take care, peace.
