Hi Dotsie, I grew up Catholic too, and I'm still in recovery. I don't think that shaped my notion that I could end relationships. It's within the last decade that I became able to pick and choose my friends, versus the other way around. I do think that the people we meet make an impression for eternity. That does not mean we have to be with them when the time has come that a relationship has gone bad. It wouldn't be healthy, would it? Love and Light, Lynn
