I am posting this blog for my readers opinion on a personal issue. Without going behind the scenes and letting you know what the entire situation is I just want you to read this and help me understand what I should do in this situation that has really been bothering me.
The first step in acceptance is understanding that there are some things that you cannot change. I've prayed the Serenity Prayer over and over until I knew what I had to do in my heart. ("God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to accept the things I can and wisdom to know the difference").
If you know me, you know that I usually go out of my way to make sure people are happy (if I can help it) even if the situation isn't working for me. However, I've learned that some people will never be happy no matter what you present to them. Something sat on my heart all weekend and I cant seem to shake it. I guess because of the person I am I usually go above and beyond to make a situation better but with this situation I feel my hands are tied. I've been told my role was no longer needed and I need to let other parties step up to the plate and not get involved. So my first question is... how am I to respond when that same person calls me in an attempt to get me involved? I am stumped so I just don't answer the phone. Am I wrong to ignore the phone calls???? I've learned that getting myself involved makes me look too involved and based on that, I completely stepped back. I feel that I was made to look like the main problem / issue. I never wanted anyone to feel like they lost control of what they had going on before I came along so I let go and let god. That was my acceptance. I accepted what I couldn't change. I wish things were different but they aren't. So after following the instructions I was given, what do I do???? The only way I know how to allow the "new method" to work is to completely walk away. Is that the best thing to do or do I answer the phone and get involved?

Welp, I wouldn't ponder on this at all. You did what you were told to do. What else should you do when you were told in the beginning to let it be? Are you suppose to step in when you were told in the beginning that you are overstepping your boundaries? No ma'am! You did exactly what you were told. If this is a life or death situation, then yes.....get involved. If it's not then wash your hands. You can't always be the superhero in any situation. All you can do is sit back and be the audience. I swear, it seems as though people say one thing but do another. People don't need you unless you're a benefit. The word "Enabler" is the best example word I could give. Don't enable someone to do what "THEY'RE" suppose to do. Let them handle their own situations and keep it moving.
Thanks Rochelle. It always seem that when you do what someone tells you to do then ypu are the one in the wrong when they want you to do the opposite. I guess I wouldn't know if its a life / death situation if I don't answer the phone so I will go back to answering the phone but like you said sit back and be the audience :-)
I agree with Rochelle on this one girl. You can't fix every situation. I wouldnt even answer the phone anymore from them. They need to be grown up and handle their own business. They cant tell you on one hand..dont get involved, then on the other expect you to be all involved and trying to remedy the situation. You need to take care of you and not worry about what issues they are getting themselves into.
