Snake-Like Relationships: How to make a clean break from the snake in your relationship

By Johanna Sparrow

You live your whole life never understanding why some people are dangerous, until you cross their path. By then it’s too late. When they strike, you never see it coming. And they continue to strike until they break you down or force you to run and hide. Poisonous people are this way and they are everywhere. Unfortunately, having them in your inner circle can prove fatal if you aren’t careful, or if you don’t know who they are. They have attractive personalities, but people may see them as somewhat controlling or manipulative early in the relationship. They can tear you down in a short amount of time for what seems like no reason, or if they feel a loss of control. To exist around them becomes a battle.

You’ve watched them tear down others with their words and behavior. You were happy to watch from the sideline, until they targeted you. Why does everything they say hurt? Shaking off their poison is not easy, and you find it hard to escape their grip once they have you.

Some poisonous people even go out of their way to make your life a living hell and to make others to hate you. How to deal with a poisonous person is not only necessary for your sanity and peace of mind, but your physical health as well. Don’t let people destroy you when they can’t control you; it would be a mistake that you can’t afford to live with. My goal is to help you deal with poisonous people, who are angry at life, so that you aren’t destroyed by them.

INTRODUCTION

Just when you think you know someone, they show their true colors to you. You question if it’s real or not and get a nasty bite from them, one you will always remember. Don’t think the people in your inner circle always care for you just as much as you care for them. You’ve noticed how they’ve side-eyed you up and down. You play it off, since you are not the one with the problem, but you have the problem and it’s clear as day. You are surrounded by fake love and attention. You are surrounded daily by the very people who claim to love you and would do anything for you, but who are tearing you down behind your back. Your relationship is fake, yet you don’t care. You’ve convinced yourself of somehow thinking those around you value your very existence, but they don’t. All I can do is chuckle right now without choking to death on the fact that you’ve fooled yourself into thinking you are loved by all, friends and family, cherished by everyone. Your friends gather at your home to hear your latest stories and smile with sparkling lights in their eyes every time you look their way. Your partner can’t get enough of you and you’re proud to be in their life. Your family seems to praise your every move and business decision. Folks in your church have thrown you more celebrational dinners in honor of your existence than the Lord himself. Yet, you still can’t see what’s happening around you.

Sure, when someone crosses you the wrong way, you let them have it, biting your tongue is a no-no where you come from. How many times have you been told your honesty is your best feature? How many times have you known someone was lying to your face? How many friendship invites did you receive once you were no longer part of the inner circle? How many dinners did your family and loved ones make you when you were down on your luck? Is it sinking in yet? You’ve built a community and social network of worthy people, but not everyone claims to be who they say they are. Your love life, family, friendships and everyday relationships are based on what you’ve done and could do for others around you. Ha, don’t tell me for one minute you thought all of those relationships, well wishes, and good vibes were real? I think I am going to need a glass of wine in order to tell you that you, my friend, have been living in a hell hole, a pit and a mighty large one at that. Everyone around you are not who they claim to be, but you don’t care now, do you? You’re missing the mark of what’s truly happening around you. Oh, I care and give a damn, because I know a snake when I see one, but you, my dear friend, are surrounded by black mambas, one of the deadliest snakes on the planet. I am afraid if you don’t wake yourself up to the reality of who is in your inner circle,
