Yes, I held on for 7 years and I got trampled over and over until one day I said "Enough. Go." It was with my daughter. The son went along with her.
I think it is different for everyone. I held on because I just couldn't fathom my daughter would do such hurtful things. I thought it was my imagination. But after 7 years? Come on. But it took that long, me holding on, her doing one hurtful thing after another. For me to let go and put me first.
