That Was Cold
You can split up with a partner, but you can also split from an unsupportive family member or a bad friend – like this person did. Back in her school days, Nicole got up the courage to finally tell her mom she was being bullied by a large group of kids. Her mother’s response was the opposite of what she had expected: “well, if I was your age, I wouldn’t be your friend either.”

We’re guessing this wasn’t just a joke in poor taste, because today, as an adult, Nicole has cut her off from her life. You don’t need poisonous people in your life; it’s unfortunate if these people happen to be family members, but sometimes, you have to do what’s right for you and just separate yourself from this environment.
