Because of our ability as "sensitives" to absorb other people's energy/feelings, you can imagine how difficult it can be to leave a relationship, especially one that has alot of negativity and "bad energy" surrounding it. There are countless examples of people who stay in relationships way too long because they just can't seem to break the connection. Even in relationships where there is abuse or some kind of addiction, an empath just can't seem to "let go"....
Most of the time the reason for this is that even tho WE know that it is time to leave a relationship because it is so emotionally unhealthy to be in it, THEIR feelings hold us prisoner. THEY don't want the relationship to end, so we feel their feelings and it is absolute HELL to leave them - we always want to go back. So many times we go back and it is the same thing all over again.
If they are the ones to leave us instead, their feelings about us (which usually are not good feelings) also hold us prisoner, making us feel "less than" or that we were at fault as to why the relationship did not work (which is their feelings) and we dump on ourselves and wonder what is wrong with US. This will either cause us to try and win them back, or make us feel so low and bad about ourselves that it makes it hard to move forward.
That is why it is so important, again, to know OURSELVES and our feelings so that we can learn to block other people's feelings enough that we know our own minds and do what is best for us, without giving them the power that we do over us. Alot of this involves our own self-esteem, because in order to WANT to know ourselves, we need to feel like we deserve to give ourselves the time and desire to learn more about OUR energy and what WE are all about.
