LETTERS ARE EDITED FOR STYLE AND LENGTH
Let it go
‘Choose your battles’ (March edition) made so much sense to me, and forced me to consider my own life. I always find myself tiptoeing around people, trying not to upset them – but it’s often at the cost of my own happiness.
Your feature made me see that I should learn to choose my battles. Battles not fought are not lost; simply battles not worth fighting for. And true strength is being able to walk away from the nonsense with your head held high. Sometimes, keeping the peace is better than being right. For instance, my son and daughter-in-law go to her parents every Christmas. We’re allowed one hour with them in the morning and then off they go. This upsets me but, at the end of day, I have to realise that this is what they want to do. It hurts that they don’t want to be with us for dinner and the games we used to play before they were married. But I don’t want to cause waves and I’m not going to let something that doesn’t matter, cause me to lose something that does. I know they still love me.
