"While battling demons of illness; like PTSD, TBI, loss of limbs, to name of few... Many times we will notice that after our massive growth period others can not allow us to stop being our broken selves. I have learned I needed to distance myself from anyone unwilling to accept my growth and movement past my once "disability" even though I love them, some family, some friends. It is a time of grieving the loss while finding many new supporters that want to cheer you on and see the new improved you: The Warrior we have always been that was stuck in the past and in the pain."

This is very true. Sometimes those who love us and want to help are the ones who need us to remain broken as their "mission" is our support. In that case, you have to walk away to heal and become the best you can be before checking back in with them. I have counseled people about remaining the "broken victim" before.

Always be searching out the good stuff and reject the negative influences.
