VAMPIRE RELATIONSHIPS

Vampire relationships are people who drain your energy. It can be a lover, a family member, a co-worker or anyone in your life.

 If it is a co-worker in a supervisory relationship, you might minimize energy loss by minimizing contacts with the person as much as possible, or get another job. If it’s a family member you must be in contact with, do the same – just minimize the amount of time you spend with them. If it’s a lover, immediately start working on an escape route. Get out as soon as you can.

 That may sound harsh. It is not. Vampires will slowly and surely destroy you. Their need for blood is greater than your little heart can pump.

 With all these crisp recommendations, you’d think I’ve never been slurped upon by any vampires. Wrong. I have had the same problems you have getting them off the neck.

 Why do we find it so hard to get vampires out of our lives? For one thing, most of us are kind and caring persons. We think about how much abuse they must have suffered when they were children. We feel for them so much over their abuse that we forget how they are now transferring that abuse to us. As long as we allow it, it will continue. Short of professional treatment or a profound spiritual experience, vampires never change.

 One friend with unquestionable devotion to your welfare can be valuable in making your escape. If you are their first priority, they will be able to be firm when you weaken. They can see the facts with less emotion. They can tell you the truth you need to hear.

 Depending on how many psychological hooks the vampire has got in you and how many log chains he/she has wrapped around your soul, you may be able to get them off your neck and find a loving, sharing balanced relationship with someone else.

 It all depends on you. It’s your blood and you can decide whether to keep enough to live or give it all away. Unless you realize your abuse can never be justified, you have no chance of freedom and a new life.
