People from the past

[TeAmoReally]

AIBU to just not welcome certain people who have screwed me over in the past even tho it has been years... and i should be over it?

I mean family members / ex boyfriends and the like. Should I just be pleasant and get on with it or should I write back?

Don't write back. There is a reason they are getting in touch and its probably not in your best interests.

Shred/compost the letter and forget them.

If you hang around s* it tends to rub off. The converse is true also. If these people are going to continue to drag you down, to their level, it is not good for you. Some leopards can change their spots, some wont. I have just informed someone this morning supposedly 'close' to me that I have no wish to ever see or hear from them again. I know they stole from me many years ago, and for various reasons this morning was the time to let it all go permanently. The world is a lot brighter.

they are in the past for a reason. Keep them there.

No. Move forward.

nope never look back
